And also bear in mind that if someone writes a crappy enough kbin article now and it gets deleted, that's going to make it harder to get a kbin article started again in the future. I know that's not how it's supposed to work in principle but unfortunately it's how it works in practice.
@FaceDeer oh that's interesting. do you know why?
Wikipedia doesn’t like articles that are basically ads. Articles should be written from an unbiased standpoint using independent sources. If an article has been removed because it’s basically self promotion, then mods will be more careful about reopening it again.
Might it be easier to start by adding mentions of Kbin on another Wikipedia article? I've read a bunch of news articles about Kbin and most of them aren't thorough enough to really base anything off of, or they're just wrong. Most people writing articles about Kbin don't seem to have used it enough to really give a full picture of its capabilities or history
@rodhlann I noticed the lack of kbin page when I was reading ActivityPub#Notable_implementations. All but kbin have links to separate pages and expect for WriteFreely, those pages all exist. Although as mentioned elsewhere the Pleroma page doesn't exist, that links to Fediverse#Fediverse_software_packages where kbin is also mentioned.
