Comparison of GIS software

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable and primarily indiscriminate "comparison" list of GIS software. Completely unsourced and seems to be nothing more than a huge spam vehicle for GIS software provides to come list their wares than a legitimate, encyclopedic topic. There is already a List of GIS software, and this "comparison" seems highly inappropriate and unnecessary. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 20:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources could be added and this list could be potentially very helpful for someone looking for GIS software. Lets  drink Tea 20:38, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a sales catalog and there is already a list of GIS software. How does having two lists help anyone? -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 20:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
