Outlook add-ins[edit]

Wikipedia is not a directory. The introduction (the only portion of the article that actually has any substance) is already found in the main Outlook article, and everything beyond that is little more than a directory. Perhaps it could be converted to "List of Microsoft Outlook add-ins," but even then, I'm not sure there are enough notable add-ins to make that a worthwhile effort.

Delete WP:LISTCRUFT. If there were enough reliable sources, this could be a "List Of" article, but good luck with that. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 20:29, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the section about Outlook Add-ins that is currently in the Microsoft Outlook section does not contain enough useful information. For instance, it should mention that add-ins can be developed either in Visual Studio or using 3rd party development tools like Add-in Express. Also, it should indicate that Outlook Web Apps do not support add-ins. A list of add-ins I think is always useful, and is a reason for why I like Wikipedia, which is the ability to find and connect information from different sources. I would like to keep the article and expand it as I find it useful currently, but lacking details. If the article is kept I can expand it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlosgonzalezgancedo (talk • contribs) 20:33, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We should be able to merge that information into the section without issue. There are several sites I can see on a quick Google search which offer listings of Outlook add-ins, and those sites are meant for listings such as these. Wikipedia is not.

Delete per nom, Wikipedia is not a directory. This article is currently a linkfarm of non-notable add-ins. The very small set of notable add-ins could be merged into the main Outlook article.Dialectric (talk) 17:45, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
