Good question... ask the guys at wikipedia. As I understand it the Phex article is in the eyes of the wikipedia staff not worth enough.
It would be nice if someone recreates the article and maybe add some more text to it, to make it more "relevant" and "notable".
This is the google cache entry:
Phex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I could do it myself but it would be nice and more authentic if various real Phex users would do this.

I ask every Phex user who thinks that the Phex article should not be deleted from Wikipedia to help us make the Phex article more relevant and noteworthy.

And state your opinion in this deletion poll: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phex

Thanks for your support!
Gregor

it was most likely deleted after wiki's new software determined it was written by the phex staff...not that I in any way support this particular deletion, but if you've paid attention to the news lately you should be aware of how may edits companies have made to basically cover their worthless a§§es after people have informed others via Wiki of the truth...

Well I have not edited much in that article, except some version number changes once in a while... and other minor corrections, but not the main article. So there software must not be very good in determining who is phex staff.
I think it also took a while before we found out that someone wrote an article about Phex on Wikipedia.
But that is exactly why I ask everyone of you to edit the article, this would make it more neutral and also I think users often just find the better words then the author.
I also don't need to cover our worthless a§§, we don't worry much about revenue...

oh..I wasn't implying anything about Phex in any way...

there have been plenty of big companies guilty as hell of editing entries on Wiki to suit their agenda...
