Node.js wikipedia entry marked for deletion for not being notable

The article in question has a single external reference: a page on the CommonJS wiki which basically just says that NodeJS exists. Add some real citations to the article and the issue goes away.

Edit: Some anonymous user removed the notice. Here's the old version of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Node.js&oldid=...

Also, notice the sentences "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason" and "If this template is removed, it should not be replaced." in the original warning.

Let's not jump the gun and start pointing fingers. Wikipedia is a hard beast to manage and we have to assume the moderator acted in good faith.

I don't see why any of those articles should be deleted.

>> If by "culprit" you mean "person who noted that there a number of very poorly cited Wikipedia entries," yes.

"And decided that said heavily-trafficked articles should be deleted as being unnotable, instead of asking for more citations."

Sure.

I tried to add information about how Node.js is now part of the webOS SDK, but then it complained that someone else was now editing it.

And there was the first time I've ever tried to edit a Wikipedia page.
