Another defunct site is Deletionpedia, which compiled articles that had been removed from Wikipedia for not meeting various criteria (usually relating to notability IIRC). The site is dead but the HN discussion lives on:

I rather lament that Stupidedia is now defunct, way more entertaining

And apparently, encyclopedia dramatica is also now defunct.

There's still Uncyclopedia, though apparently there are 3 forks of it now?

Grokipedia will eventually replace it.

Interesting. There was a small window of time where there was in fact a small page about me in Wikipedia (I wrote a published game for the Macintosh in 1990). And then one day my page was gone.

That must have been during the "Big Cull". It makes sense to me though. That I had a page just for having written a game made Wikipedia seem overly "nerd-centric".
