Your recent edit to Comparison of file hosting services appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 05:09, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps you can take a look at the talk page under the title "Why removed many sites"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Comparison_of_file_hosting_services#Why_removed_many_sites.3F This is a comparison of file hosting services with their features. It severely limits the utility of this list if a pre-existing link for a site can't be created. If you are going to delete them then I'd much rather you put them into a list at the end that don't have their own article so that this becomes an inclusive list, much like the list of former services.

 * Hi again. I see you added a section to the list for services without standalone articles. While I understand the rationale, Wikipedia differentiates itself from a lot of other sources here: WP:NOT. One of them is a software directory. Basically the vast majority of lists on Wikipedia are not intended to be exhaustive. That is to say just because something exists does not mean it should be included. Instead most lists are for notable entries, which in most cases is simply interpreted as requiring its own article. There's an essay called WP:WTAF which explains this well, I think. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 06:54, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
