The Way safe on Wikipedia?

No, I'm not saying we create an article again. Last time I've check that's been tried many times before. But this is odd...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_%28game_series%29
At this point it's only two weeks old, but what's more surprising is that if you go to the disambiguation page the game has been mentioned for three weeks.
Is this just temporary, or do you think wikipedia is finally going to realize that The Way should be on their site?

Hmm, they say that the article is stub, I do believe we should expand it.

so why has the creation of a the way wikipedia article been tried and failed.

Because dedicated wikipedia editors are presumptuous, elitist pricks who think they're intellectual enough to decide what's encyclopedic. I remember one of them was like "well, rm2k games are a dime a dozen, so this gets deleted". Which is funny, because the fact that he hadn't heard of The Way clearly shows he has no clue what the fuck he's talking about to begin with.

there's no reason for there to NOT be an article on the way. if people keep deleting articles for it, that's against the fucking rules: the way is one of, if not the, most important game in an entire community of video game making. it has encyclopedic fucking merit.

So let me get this straight, an article on The Way isn't worth it since its a rm2k game, despite the fact people keep making it. Yet the entry for screen goo is completly warrented.

Oh, hey, that link to the "Chipset" article lead to an article about hardware chipsets, so I changed it.

I think I'll lend a hand with this from time to time.

Yes, I was aware of that. But I put that in there because the article sounded like it was talking about your average RM2K game. I didn't want it deleted, so I thought I should try and show that it wasn't some idiot bragging about his game.
Anyway, someone added a lot of blank categories so I'll do my best to fill in what can't be done wrong... But please someone else who's more intelligent help...

I corrected some typos. It's now plunge not plung, perform not porfrom. By the way, does anyone know who JesseG88 is?

some gayface.

some of the new edits i.e. the description of the plunge system are quite good; whoever made them should be proud! also, this is prty gud: The first is the default RM2K battle system, looking like the older Dragon Warrior games.

i'mma make a couple additions, to setting and probably characters. someone should upload facesets of all the primary characters.

someone should compile a list of who can actually be considered primary characters.

i think i'll start some discussion on the article's discussion page detailing what is needed, screenshot-wise. i'd take some myself but i can't.

shit i can't remember what those fucking clouds that eat up the way are called.
