Hmm.. so it has the wrong name, and has very little contents, especially (as the "marked for speedy deletion" message is already saying) since there's very little content on there that would suit an encyclopedia.

I don't honetsly care if wikipeders* don't want löve2d article on the wikipedia, it doesn't matter at all whatsoever whether or not there's a wikipedia article about this. But if you want an article, I suggest first making a comprehensive one on the local wiki and then, once it's ready, place it to the wikipedia.

* russian for wikifags, in russian "pederast" has mostly "fag" meaning, and I find it sounding more suitable

Here is the intro to source reliability for wikipedia.

I've done some work on wikipedia in the past, and this source issue has always been the biggest challenge. Basically, other people (not associated with löve) need to write about it and get published in well respected (known not to publish crap / lies) publications (preferably physically printed). Otherwise they won't like it.

People, this is not productive. If you want LÖVE to have a Wikipedia article, it is more productive to make awesome games that get recognized by well-known media. Mari0 and Hawkthorne are two great examples of that.

We need more sources that are not from LÖVE.
