 		Article on The Slender Man on Giant Bomb
talks about history of Slender Man and Slender
http://www.giantbomb.com/news/one-two-slender-mans-coming-for-you/4332/

A pretty good article. I enjoy Giant Bomb's content and Patrick Kelepk usually has some interesting things to say. I appreciate how he's trying to inform people that The Slender Man existed long before Slender, and shows a respect for the mythos. I don't know if anyone still bothers trying to get Slender Man back on Wikipedia, but I suppose here we have another outside source discussing him.

 		It's an interesting article, though the majority of the emphasis was put on the Slender game. I agree, it is good of him to at least mention the mythos, though.

I wasn't aware that Slender Man was ever on Wikepedia... why was the page removed?

from what I understand, it was a pretty early attempt at making a wikipedia for it and was removed for not having enough sources.

which is incredibly stupid and annoying.

Wow, that is pretty dumb. I wonder what the cutoff point is for how many sources a Wikipedia article needs.

 		Wiki doesn't count forums & other wikis as valid sources, so that's probably the problem.

Any wikitroll can report a page to get taken down.
