Baidu Baike was deprecated in the 2020 RfC as it is similar to an [[WP:UGC|open wiki]], which is a type of [[WP:SPS|self-published source]]. Although edits are reviewed by Baidu administrators before they are published, most editors believe the editorial standards of Baidu Baike to be very low, and do not see any evidence of fact-checking. The [[Baidu 10 Mythical Creatures]] [[kuso]] originated from Baidu Baike. The Baidu Baike domain also includes a website archiving service (baike.baidu.com/reference), which unlike the encyclopedia articles (which are hosted under baike.baidu.com/item/), are acceptable to use as accessible links for reliable sources.
