I can't find the original PBWiki page but it's more likely that it wasn't up to snuff instead of a blatant conflict of interest delete.

The original's been deleted. (Google cached a copy of the page at http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:iwQCy4E4y_8J:en.wikiped... )

The decision looks to be on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion...

Anyway, what strikes me as slightly odd is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms (try ranking by alexa), I'm sure it's only a matter of time until most of those linked articles that exist are deleted for non-notability as well, right?

You can do it. Go ahead.

for what it's worth here's a wiki page comparing various wiki software and most of the other companies have pages.

the magic of wikipedia is of course that david weekly can get an intern to put back the page.

But David Weekly is honorable and tries to minimize self-interested editing and surreptitious sock-puppeting. ;)

I was going to point out that link, but I discovered one specific to wiki farms that isn't the same, but still has some very obscure wiki farms with articles on wikipedia.

On that particular comparison page of all the software, it does stick out like a sore thumb though..
