Criticism of Microsoft

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

Criticism articles are nearly always POV forks, and should be deleted per the relevant guideline. Sceptre (talk) 13:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * What? Is there a WP:POINT to these nominations? speedy keep SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
 * Nope. I just took the first twenty results on Google for "intitle:'crticism of' site:en.wikipedia.org" and nominated all of the positives for deletion. I'll get to the others laters. The fact these articles are problematic is no secret; most of them have tags which have been there for months. Sceptre (talk) 14:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You are not going to suceed - Articles for deletion/Common criticisms of Microsoft.--Kozuch (talk) 14:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That was two years ago. NPOV is much more strictly followed these days. Sceptre (talk) 14:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Why did not you POV tag it???--Kozuch (talk) 14:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:POVFORK specifically states that "There is no consensus whether a "Criticism of .... " article is always a POV fork.". -- JediLofty UserTalk 14:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - This (And the other articles) are notable enough to warrant separate topics about them. I don't see these article's as PoV forks, but rather as seperate articles to cover a certain aspect about the companies in question. These articles are simply to long to include into the main article, and are therefore forked. As far as i can see, the article comply to WP:NPOV more or less, and are properly sourced.
