Google Chrome About and Chrome URLs[edit]

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

The text that makes up this article was split from deleted text that had been used in Google Chrome. The text was deleted from that article by talk page consensus in March 2011 because it consisted only of instructions and "how to" information and thus was non-encyclopedic under WP:NOTMANUAL. As a separate article the content is still an instruction manual, non-encyclopedic in nature and therefore Wikipedia should not have an article on this subject.

Delete - WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Many of the URLs listed aren't specific to Chrome anyway. --Ritchie333 (talk) 21:56, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move to wikibooks for a Google Chrome book. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 05:18, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article is not encyclopedic. Its content is not a summary of information, but a complete list of all internal Chrome URLs accompanied by descriptions that are detailed enough to be considered manual-like. Wikipedia is not a manual per WP:NOT. The tone of some of the URL descriptions qualifies as instruction. Per WP:NOT, such content is not encyclopedic. I don't see how this content can be edited to comply with the policy. Even if it were possible, the article will very likely to fail WP:N. Rilak (talk) 07:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
