Why? Why is it stupid? Why does Wikipedia have to cover it?
This argument could be extended to everything. My company, that I work for, why couldn't I cover that using the couple of blogs about it and our own site?
Once you make this argument the scope of Wikipedia expands dramatically (remember, it is a founding principle that Wikipedia is curated not an indiscriminate collection).
If you're arguing that the notability rules are problematic for programming languages and need to be revised, then I agree.
Simply recreating articles is not going to affect that, leading to inconsistent results and well meaning efforts to clean up content causing this sort of confrontation.
Don't just drop content over and over in the hope that it will stay, that's not a workable approach. And, yes, it is rude. Throwing out ad hominems because you didn't get your way is also not very nice. Engage in the community, bring together some solid guidelines, and then create the content that meets those guidelines.
I've given you the starting base to bring those changes about - if you want to take that and go with it then please do make the effort.
If your position is that Wikipedia should cover everything, ever, then you're at odds with the Wikipedia community and should fork it (but I'd suggest you'll soon realise why those rules exist!).
