Oh wow, it got undeleted. Some editor insisted on deleting it because it was a "personal project" (Stephen Dolan's) even though it has a huge user base. I guess now that it has a proper "org" in GitHub it's different. What nonsense.
It's likely because there's a citation in a paper. That's apparently the bar you need to reach to get Wikipedia to see something as significant enough. I tried to get a draft article about SourceHut ( https://sourcehut.org/ ) to be published after extensive improvements and they refused because there weren't enough third party links. This is despite the fact there's like a dozen pages in Wikipedia about software that is hosted on SourceHut, so it seems notable enough?
Seriously, Wikipedia has been of immense value to society and education.
Yes there are issues with ideologically motivated moderators, poorly cited articles, etc. But even with its flaws, it's an amazing resource provided to the public for free (as in coffee and maybe as in speech also).

Maybe it helped that they called it a "programming language"? It helps make it sound super serious.
Wikipedia is such a disappointment
How could you even type such a ridiculous statement?
