   Our Wikipedia page is at risk of being deleted because it may not meet notability guidelines.

   Can we get some help?

   We're not that familiar with Wikipedia or its processes, but we think our project is notable enough for inclusion.

     @zdl @pixelfed Find some newspaper articles mentioning it and you're usually good.

     @pixelfed Wikipedia's rules for "notability" are ludicrous. A project like Pixelfed will be deemed by some self-important twit as "not notable" while there's 15,000 pages of information on a background character in a video game…

     Technically you can appeal this, but thatt involves a bureaucratic war with people who can cite every obscure Wikipedia rule from memory. You basically need to find one of those who's on your side to win.
