Spammy list of non-notable entities, Wikipedia is not a product directory * Pppery * it has begun... 20:09, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I don't see any links to Wikipedia articles in there, just links to external sites. Dream Focus 21:21, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per XOR'easter, improving the list to cover (some of) the programs appropriately does not seem practical. Keep. According to WP:NLIST, individual items in a list need not be notable, while the category the list is about does. As the category is already covered in its own article and is criticized as spammy/indiscriminate, less notable entries should be culled as per WP:LSC.

    Propagation of uncertainty isn't about the software. No software is mentioned at all. Category:Lists of software shows how the many other lists of this type work, they list notable software that has its own Wikipedia articles. This list is old. Has any of the software listed on it gotten its own articles yet? Dream Focus 00:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The software listed implements the concept described in the article and should probably be wikilinked there. If lists of software on Wikipedia were just lists of Wikipedia articles covering software, deleting would be in the interest of consistency, but a cursory look at the category indicates otherwise. Outdated information should be corrected by editing. I don't know if any of the programs covered are notable enough to have an article.

  • Delete in the absence of sources that indicate this particular feature to be a noteworthy thing to organize software by, and the lack of secondary references to support the claims being made on behalf of these obscure tools/packages/scripting languages.
