Wider than any other adjacent lanes is not what determines whether a lane is "wide". What determines whether a lane is "wide" is whether it is wide enough for a bike and motor vehicle to safely share side-by-side. Most sources agree that that means the lane has to be at least 14 feet wide, some say 15 feet. If such a lane is the outside lane, then it's a WOL.
Note that a typical 12 foot lane plus a narrow 4 foot bike lane is 16 feet wide.
