Tonight I tried to create a Wikipedia page for Lemmy to try and raise awareness, but it was quickly rejected for the following reason:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
I guess we'll have to start getting journalists to write about it?
In a time line based article, like often can be seen on Wikipedia, I would guess that the link to NLnet would be fine.
Above are the references I submitted. They seem to want at least 2 independent sources though.
