Comparison of Web-scraping software

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

Unencyclopedic spam list of web software. Nakon 05:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, OR and spam magnet. Stifle (talk) 10:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Remove Deletion Tag, There are different comparison pages already on Wikipedia for eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems, as already mentioned during earlier discussions (ref.Talk) regarding deleting this page. So I think that this page does not warrant deletion. Also this page can accumulate more comparison information without doing any kind of damage and instead providing a good reference.

 * The argument that other stuff exists is not a legitimate reason. Nakon  15:50, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Other stuff exists can be a legitimate reason if the other article is sufficiently similar and if extensive discussion deemed it worthy to include or even resulted in an GA or FA status for the article. I can't see that hear, though. - Mgm|(talk) 09:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I could be convinced to keep this if the notability of the individual components was proven, but without any reliable sources (the existing one doesn't coun't) it's nothing more than disguised advertising. - Mgm|(talk) 09:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Remove Deletion Tag, I think an unbiased, centralised, list of different products with proper comparisons is a valuable resource. It would also help prevent the spread of product specific pages with marketing blurb instead of properly targeted requirement comparisions. --Marc350 (talk) 09:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Remove Deletion Tag, I see few notable and few not so notable vendors in the list but I overall find these comparisons very helpful. For example the other day I was looking for application servers and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_application_servers link was very helpful. I think we can use this page. --Markperter39 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markpeter39 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
