The reason:
Wikipedia is on the Internet. If Wikipedia has an article
about something whose promoter specifically intends to spread it on the

a loophole in the definition of neutrality that doing things which help
one side of a dispute doesn't break neutrality, simply because our
intentions are neutral--even though our effects are not.
I agree. Let's remove
all content on Wikipedia about the Internet.
"Is about the Internet" and "is mainly an Internet promotional
campaign"
aren't the same thing.
Someone might write a book and want it promoted on the Internet, but the
fact that it's being promoted on the Internet is way down on the list of
important facts about that book.
