!!  This makes me quite angry!  And it does not help to overcome some
prejudices I have against Wikipedia.

Interestingly, the newer site Zompist.com, when discussed for
deletion, was a keep.  Since Conlang-L is the pioneer for electronic
communication of conlangers, it is more easily a candidate for 'keep'
in an encyclopedia.

Further, there are quite some pages about individual conlangs.
Unbelievable the article about the pioneer list is deleted.

It is sad.  And I am angry.

I will remove all my links from my site to Wikipedia if this is not
reconsidered.

Obviously, yes.
