This reminds me of my "war" to get an article for my parser XML::Bare.

There was a time when there was a comparison page for XML parsers, and many parsers had articles.

Still existing parsers on Wikipedia that should be removed; if they are to stay true to their war on having useful software info in Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:XML_parsers

The original argument was that if you can find a citation in print you can have whatever it is on Wikipedia, but that ceased to be true years ago and it has become a popularity contest and power struggle with obnoxious Wikipedia editors.
