Since most (all?) opensource proyects are webonly, and

the press, are on some "obscure" area of the web where something can
be wildly popular for these in-the-know, and invisible for these that
edit and delete articles.
I mean, I can write a bot to nominate *all* opensource
projects
articles on wikipedia for speedy deletion, and few ones (maybe 6) will
survive that.

FFS, how can one maintain an article without reliable sources? What
such an article will look like? Enough article-count-stacking,
emphasis on quality, even if that means systemic bias. Wikipedia is not
a registry of open-source projects. And those projects that an average
user might search for tend to have some sources, guess why?
As of counter examples of fancruft, there's one 100% recipe: remove
all in-universe crap and slap {{db-empty}} if there's nothing left.
