Speedy deletion per G11 overturned at Deletion review/Log/2008 April 4 with consensus to relist. Procedural nomination, so no opinion. Daniel (talk) 03:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:SPAM definitely, WP:OR probably. Xdenizen (talk) 04:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Advertizing. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 04:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not advertising or spam, as we have several pages of this type and I think it is absolutely fine to include pricing information in such an article as that is a fine comparison metric.  However, none of the linked to content seems notable.  Celarnor Talk to me  04:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Less than blatant aggregated spamvertising. (Ex: "Easy to use" "Contact us for pricing"). Also, as Celanor says, all this for NN software. -- B figura (talk) 04:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Comparison of X" articles should generally be restricted to comparing subjects which we cover. Not a one of these software packages has an article (Nativity is a false link), so a comparison is premature. We do have an article on church management software, but it doesn't mention any of them - indeed, it's only four sentences long. If any of the contributors are still around, their efforts should probably be directed at improving that article first. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 05:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think that an article containing a list of church management software might be of encyclopedic relevance and worth keeping. As long as the article is neutral, I would see no advertising problem. Maybe it would be possible to integrate the article in the other article on church management software? --Abrech (talk) 10:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The head article on church management software is a borderline deletion candidate to begin with; it is essentially a stub made of vague and obvious platitudes, and essentially says that church management software is just like any other non-profit management software.  It isn't strongly supported by its given references, either; they seem to be more about electronic Bibles and hymnals than about office software.  We don't need a list article full of redlinks that invite the creation of pages about a whole slew of non-consumer, non-notable management software packages.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. That article is now up for deletion.  Anturiaethwr (talk) 19:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Church management software--Rtphokie (talk) 22:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into church management software which is also up for deletion but is a considerablt more meaningful article than this one. The DominatorTalkEdits 05:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The problem is that the interesting parts of this comparison, ease of use and quality of customer support, is OR. Removing that and there is not much left to merge. Taemyr (talk) 09:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There is enough to mention the more notable software. The DominatorTalkEdits 13:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into church management software, all software category articles contain comparison charts. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Mr. Norton. It seems to be a notable category of software; there just isn't a reason to have the two pages seperate. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 18:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into church management software - some useful sourced content that would enhance that page. BlueValour (talk) 19:35, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
