The point of Wikipedia is to be accurate, not complete. Wikipedia does not want to just trust the developers of $ObscureLang to maintain their own wikipedia page. So, the existence of the $ObscureLang page (and, in the aggregate, many similar pages) imposes a maintenance burden on Wikipedia. Better to say nothing than to risk saying something inaccurate.

		"That we have rules for the inclusion of material does not mean Wikipedians have no respect for truth and accuracy." Verifiable, in addition to accurate. Not "not accurate."
