I looked around the main wikipedia site and eventually found the undeletion page (Yay!) where we can argue our point with other, possibly less annoying, administrators who might see our point of view.
Here's the link to the undeletion request I put up there:

Once you get on wikipedia, you know you've made it. I mean what's terrible about it is that the Nuclear Dawn article i linked to earlier had even less info then the Cortex Command article when i saw it. And it's still up.That, and it's a big portal to alot of people. austonst wrote: undeletion Good find!
If the page is restored we have to jump on it and throw on as much info as possible, to make it look just a bit longer then the Nuclear Dawn one (because hey, if it's there, that is probably the minimum requirements)

Still being expanded on? thats the reason? Bah! Blockland was a game that was being expanded on for ages and they never deleted that! And what about all those game demos? like Half-life2: EP2 and Every other game thats ever had a demo? there being expanded on, but they have wiki entrys!

Nope, in the undelete page, they say that the page was deleted because it seemed an advertising.
I can imagine you guys "cortex command is a game being made, but it rocks more than worms!" LOL.
What we have to do is an serious article, with something bad about CC so it does not seem an advertising. (Something bad about CC.... something...)

Wasn't there some huge down-time between versions?
Just as there always seems to be with games that are in development.
[Also if it's possible, ask them if we can have a second chance and remake it so that it's less of an advertisement. If they say denied then forget it, but be sure to say "I thought this was the dictionary definition of an encyclopedia" to at least guilt them a bit, possibly showing the other "oh really? not finished? well _ isn't either, so why do they get to stay and we dont?"
And FFS dont copy+paste my text. ]
A better description of this entire situation:

Hey, he's just an overzealous wikipedian, not the demonic embodiment of a can of Cheez-wiz. Assuming that is, that cheez-wiz hold grudges very well, and that state is furthered by the demonic blood flowing through its cheddary goodness.
Strangely, Wikipedia states that it is not a bureaucracy, yet it sure seems like one to me.

If they do, then that will demonstrate that they are biased, and in violation of their own rules.

Looks like the undeletion request isn't going well so far. Who turned the article into an advertisement anyway? When I edited it, I thought it looked quite unbiased, but I guess somebody advertisementized it and got it deleted. Great. Ah well. Maybe some of the other admins will be able to help.

I seriously doubt that would work. But I believe the time has come to inquire of IrishGuy, "Dude, what's shoved up your arse?"
