Comparison of ASN.1 tools[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

On the grounds of WP:LINKFARM and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. I won't pretend like I understand ASN but this seems like just an indiscriminate list of tools that are not likely to be notable on their own, however not a single one appears to have an article.

Strong delete. WP:NOT on so many levels (linkfarm, directory, guide). Ajf773 (talk) 18:40, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This list was split out from the main article less than a year ago. If there isn't the sourcing for it to stand alone, an alternative to deletion would be to merge it, or a subset, back into the parent article. --Mark viking (talk) 19:14, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mark viking If all that can be written about it in an article or list is what we have here then it shouldn't be on Wikipedia at all. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:20, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At AfD, it is not the current state of the article, but its WP:POTENTIAL. A one-minute WP:BEFORE style search finds an ITU page on ASN.1 tools and a book chapter on ASN.1 compiler tools. These secondary sources could help with inclusion criteria and verification of some subset of the list. Both sources have been added to the article. --Mark viking (talk) 21:43, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
