W3C Relevance?
W3C is one of the two "See Also" links. I'm not sure why, since this isn't a W3C webpage and World Wide Web, Internet, etc would be just as relevant. It seems that W3C would only create confusion due to the similarity of the names. Dylan (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Notable?
Is there any reason this is notable? I think it should probably be deleted.Davidmanheim (talk) 19:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It's got an Alexa rank of 203 (184 in the US), which means it's an extremely popular website. It's the most common web development reference site on the Web, and is very well known. --Jatkins (talk - contribs) 21:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * ReadWriteWeb describes it as "one of the oldest and most popular web development tutorial sites on the Web". A Google search for "W3Schools" yields over 843,000 results. I believe the subject matter meets notability guidelines, so I have removed the non-notable tag. --Jatkins (talk - contribs) 21:21, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * If anyone was wondering, this site has an Alexa global ranking of 133. Just for reference, BBC.com ranks 141. In question of notability, yes, worlds 133rd most popular website is certainly notable, despite its poor contents. –  nafSadh did say 05:27, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Controversy
Is it appropriate to mention that the site is the subject of some controversy? consider wwww.w3fools.com /Linguisht (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I suppose you could include a criticism section, but the "W3fools" website is not that notable, and it has received much criticism of its self. --Jatkins (talk - contribs) 10:57, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There should be some citation related to the "debatable" nature of W3Fools's claims.Adam Blomeke Adam Blomeke 13:21, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I am going to remove the entire section on w3fools.com, since looking at their website today, they have more or less backed down completely. If even the notability of W3Schools is in dispute, then a section on w3fools.com seems to me to now be completely unwarranted. Acasson (talk) 14:34, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yea, I did a good portion of the rewrite of W3Fools that is out now. We decided that bad information will be in the world regardless of efforts to stop it. Having a site up simply to point out errors in one place isn't helpful. It is best that we simply encourage developers to learn from better resources such as Web Platform Docs. This also helps stop people who don't even know what they are doing from linking to W3Fools every time they see W3Schools linked to acting like they know-it-all and are such good devs for not using/liking W3Schools. JonGarbee (talk) 11:35, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And now it's back. In the above discussion there seems is consensus that "a section on w3fools.com seems to me to now be completely unwarranted". Don't think anything's changed since then? --Cornellier (talk) 00:13, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Is anyone (User:Masgui?) up for fixing (per above) the "Criticism" section or am I taking it out again? --Cornellier (talk) 03:15, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Google often points me to W3School. The problem with this website is it's appeal to authority (W3). If you remove this section just make it clear it's dissociated with W3 and that other resources exist like Mozilla Developer Networks https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masgui (talk • contribs) 03:39, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The article states "its name is derived from the World Wide Web, but is not affiliated with the W3C". As for writing that "other resources exist", please see WP:NOTDIR. If you're annoyed by it coming up in Google searches, then I suggest you try Personal Blocklist by Google. Just Google it. --Cornellier (talk) 03:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Pooja Mistry (talk) 20:20, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

hi my name is Pooja Mistry and I am editing this article as part of my coursework. I have not yet completed it and so not all views have been presented, please do not delete this article!!

Hi there - I understand that this article is contested for deletion. However, may I kindly ask that you do keep it on WP as it is quite a notable topic (see user above who mentions the site's alexa rank) - and a student is currently working on it as part of her student assignment (see: banner on top and Wiki Education Program). In the spirit of inclusionism, kindly consider this topic as part of the Encyclopaedia. Many thanks and all the best! :) --Raya - Get in touch! 09:10, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
