Comparison of wiki farms
This is a second nomination. It was previously nominated under List of wiki farms. This article in its self reads like an advertisement, it doesnt represent a npov and shouldnt feature reviews on the wiki providers them selves. I suggest turning this article into a soft redirect to WikiFarms. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 16:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, Wiki farm already has a link to WikiFarms. --Pjacobi 16:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, WikiFarms goes to a list many years old and out of date.  I actually saw wikipedia's list from a mirror on a different site that was up to date.  I forgot what the site was, but somewhere on wikia they had it.  If this article goes, there needs to be a link to the up to date mirror.  Anomo 16:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, none of the reasons in the nom is in WP:DEL. Well, I have this gut feeling saying the article must be deleted, but that's irrelevant. --logixoul 17:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep delete as we're not a business directory or review repository. It's inherently POV and otherwise problematic. --Dhartung | Talk 22:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * keep, this article is clearly NPOV as it only tells the reader the features of each wiki farm.Taida 01:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: How is "fast setup" npov? It's a user rating and POV in the sense i may think there fast setup is slow. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 11:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "Fast Setup" is a fact. It is not a user rating. The article just says that this wiki farm is faster then the rest.--Taida 22:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Who says its faster? Hence it is pov user rating. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: if this is kept add ample warning about obsolence and unreliability, like similar "comparisons" have Pavel Vozenilek 03:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, While not perfectly NPOV yet, it could be if someone was willing to spend the time. Um, not my time, but someone's time. I think it would be worth having around, though, better than just a listing of them. The soft redirect doesn't quite seem like it's what we'd want.150.243.64.10 19:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep useful in terms of information. -- GW_SimulationsUser Page 17:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's not a reason for keeping. --logixoul 10:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I see the concerns, but it's a useful page. Could it be transwikied? To WikiIndex perhaps?--Singkong2005 talk 03:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: It shouldn't. The page is encyclopedic content and so belongs to Wikipedia regardless of whether it's at WikiIndex. --logixoul 10:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability. Its also a violation of WP:NOT.--Peta 09:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Wiki is notable, therefore Wiki farm is notable, therefore Comparison of wiki farms is notable. BTW WP:N doesn't have a criteria for notability of list pages. --logixoul 10:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What makes the list notable? What makes warrants an inclusion in the list? What warrants having POV in the list? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 11:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What makes the list notable? The fact that it lists items of a notable type, namely wiki farms.
 * What warrants an inclusion? Notability as defined in WP:N.
 * What warrants having POV in the list? Nothing, fix it if you can/want. --logixoul 11:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not all websites listed there meet notability for inclusion, also the page you've quoted is a proposal. Why does wikipedia need a spam list? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 11:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not all websites listed are notable, yes. Please remove the ones that aren't. The page I quoted is indeed a proposal, sorry. See Notability (web) instead. Wikipedia doesn't need a spam list, and with united forces we can keep the spam out of the content. --logixoul 11:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
