Criticisms of Opera
Non-referenced and the "criticism" is POV, just as if it was an article on "eulogy" of Opera. ;-) The facts should be merged in the main article, but not as non-sourced opinions. bogdan 10:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as nominator. bogdan 10:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and Merge criticism articles - FrancisTyers · 10:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge, per above. Ruaraidh-dobson 11:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and source. We have Criticisms of Internet Explorer and Criticisms of Mozilla Firefox, why should Opera be different? - Sikon 11:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: It shouldn't be different. But why not merge all of them into the respective master articles? --logixoul 20:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, source, and majorly clean up - I think the article is perfectly legit, as per Sikon, but it reads like a gossip column or someone speaking to you, not an encyclopedic article. Too many contractions and colloquialisms. Slap POV warning and cleanup tags on it, but let it stay. —Vanderdecken&there4; ∫ξφ 11:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Would suggest merge to Opera (web browser) if the content was sourced. Even if it was sourced, there is not enough sourced material here to justify a separate article yet; 'criticisms' section can be split out later from the main article if and when the section grows too big. --BrownHairedGirl 11:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Dionyseus 14:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup per Sikon and Vanderdecken, but move to Criticisms of Opera (browser). I thought this would be about fat chicks dressed as Vikings, and looked at it hoping there were pictures.  Smerdis of Tlön 14:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Perfectly fine article IMHO. You guys are such deletionists. (comment added by E-Magination)
 * Either Keep and Clean Up or Merge and delete ALL "Criticisms of..." articles. I think they should stay personally, but if we're going to do away with them, they should all be done away with. - seinman 17:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup, but merge if the article stays as short as it is. At the current length there's no reason to have a separate article.   Da rk Sh ik ar i   talk /contribs  16:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. -- stubblyh ea d | T/c 16:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. If this is kept, it should be moved to "Criticisms of Opera (web browser)".  I thought it was initially about the art form. Acyso 23:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and trim significantly unless sourced. Compare with the Criticisms of Mozilla Firefox article. Captainktainer * Talk 03:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Opera, and this applies to all Criticism of articles. --logixoul 08:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Nothing but POV. - Mjg0503[[Image:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg|25px| ]] 03:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.--00Goldeneye 16:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, we have Criticisms of Internet Explorer and Criticisms of Mozilla Firefox. Eyu100 18:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: but do we need to? --logixoul 20:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Opera. I'd really like to see the same done with the Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox critism pages. --DMAJohnson 20:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand or Merge if not. Either way, clean up, as it's pretty bad. We have Criticisms of Firefox and IE, why not Opera (just because it's best?) -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 04:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC) currently editing with Firefox, using IE for WP:AWB, and downloading a Led Zeppelin torrent with Opera
 * Why not delete Criticisms of Firefox and IE, too? --logixoul 09:49, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, nominate them, too. Just because an article is messy isn't a reason to delete it. (Disclaimer: I'm a deletionist. But if you want to delete "Criticisms of Opera", delete the IE and Firefox counterparts too.) - Sikon 17:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? the Criticisms of Mozilla Firefox and Criticisms of Internet Explorer pages are handled a lot better than this article. The coverage is a lot more complete and better balanced in the other articles. Captainktainer * Talk 18:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
