A lot of these deletions are on the complete absence of evidence that anyone outside the project actually cares.
By project you mean dwm, not Wikipedia, I presume? :-)
Yes. The objections are "this is noteworthy for having x thousand downloaders and a busy forum." But no note outside of that. There's typically (I say *typically*) little evidence that anyone who doesn't already know about the project would ever, ever look it up.
The YCombinator thread has a comment pointing out that they want to get into Wikipedia precisely *because* it isn't a random-crap bucket. No-one has as a checklist item "make sure there's a Knol about our project."
