Talk:List of free and open-source iOS applications

Inclusion criteria?
There must surely be thousands or more such applications. What are the inclusion criteria? Do we want to be listing things that don't have Wikipedia articles? Morwen - Talk 12:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We should follow general Wikipedia practice for articles like this and only list things that are notable by Wikipedia standards. Basically significant coverage by at least two reliable sources.  In practice this means the app should get an article first (passing notability requirements) and then add the link here. I'm going to start pruning this article soon.

Refreshing the list
While a good number of the listed apps are still active and relevant to the article, some are ancient and/or no longer functional. For example 'wikiHow' hasn't received an update in 12 years. 94.173.137.65 (talk) 20:17, 26 September 2023 (UTC)


 * We should not remove entries simply because they are not currently maintained.
 * Development or distribution status of any particular package is irrelevant. If it executed on iOS, has it's own article, or WP:RS demonstrating notability: it goes in the list. (Same way we don't remove entries from List of operating systems simply because they're no longer developed.)
 * One is free to note an entry is unmaintained, however. -- dsprc   [talk]  20:40, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
