Various publications and commentators have predicted the end of Wikipedia since it rose to prominence. Multiple potential dangers have been proposed, such as poor quality control and inconsistent editors/administrators.
Many online encyclopedias exist. Some have been proposed as replacements for Wikipedia, including Google's since-closed Knol,[1][2] WolframAlpha,[3] and AOL's since-closed Owl.[4] The development of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence in Wikimedia projects has prompted predictions that AI applications which consume Wikipedia's free and open content will also replace Wikipedia.[5]
In a 2013 article for the MIT Technology Review, Tom Simonite listed issues such as hoaxes, vandalism, an imbalance of material, and inadequate quality control on articles.[6] Christopher Dawson wrote on vulgar content and absence of sufficient references on articles in a 2008 article on ZDNET.[7] Others suggest that the unwarranted deletion of useful articles from Wikipedia may portend its end. That brought about the creation of Deletionpedia, which itself ceased to exist in 2008 and was relaunched in 2013.[8][9]
However, contrary to these predictions, Wikipedia has constantly grown in both size and influence.[10][11][12][13]

Wikipedia, which has an entry on fart jokes, still deems some topics unworthy of inclusion.
