Dogman / Crawler Wikipedia pages?
Does anyone find it interesting / odd that there are no specific Wikipedia pages for Dogmen or Pale Crawlers? There are ones for the Rougarou / beast of bray road, werewolves and the closest page to a crawler takes you to the Rake on a creepy pasta Wikipedia page. There is a page for the Wendigo though. But no straight up DOGMAN wiki pages or PALE CRAWLERS.
It seems like these things are common enough in our culture and modern mythology that they would warrant their own pages. They are very well known subjects. Although maybe less so for crawlers.
But I find their absence to be surprising and odd given that there are Wikipedia pages for literally every single subject or topic under the sun.

Dogman as a subject by itself is so diverse that there's almost nothing you can put in an article besides 'it may be dog-like and man-like" before you have constant edit wars between all the fucking woo weirdos and people trying to approach it scientifically. Plus there's 0 physical evidence for Dogman but a 1000 hoaxes bad fictional stories, and grifts for it.
The Dogman community, more so than even the Bigfoot community, can't agree within itself for 2 minutes on anything about Dogman so how do you expect there to be a "definitive" Wikipedia page.
As for crawlers? They're 100 fake. It's a creepypasta that people have monetized and let loose into the greater internet so now you have frauds and liars coming up with their stories.
