I have a counter-point. 3 years ago I was using SDCC C compiler [1] for a 8051-compatible microcontroller. I checked Wikipedia for some background and found that SDCC article [2] was deleted.

And you know what? Deletion is not the end of the world. I just re-created the article from scratch and after 3 years it's still there! Here's what I wrote in the talk page:
= Why re-creating the article =
I know this article has been deleted before. But I believe there are strong reasons to recreate it:
* Small Device C Compiler is included in Debian starting from 2002, and FreeBSD starting from 2004.
* It has good statistics on SourceForge (highest rank is 41 at Aug 2006, stable 6000 downloads per month).
* It is mentioned in 5 books according to Google Books, and has about 70 hits on Google Scholar.
* It is the only open source C compiler for popular Microchip PIC16 and 8051 microcontrollers.
And a final note: I am recreating the article from scratch.
