Yeah, Wikipedia really isn't the place for stuff like that. Unless a conlang develops a community of speakers, or is used in a published work of fiction, or makes some sort of impact beyond simply existing that would make it an encyclopedic topic, it really doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Some editors are quick to put anything that looks like a vanity article on VfD.
