List of Blu-ray software

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

Delete not a useful list; would we have List of CD software or List of DVD software or List of floppy disk software to list all software that can access those kinds of media; would they be useful either? WP:NOT an indisciminant collection or a software directory. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - while this certainly doesn't look like a very useful list (with one entry, no less), perhaps the rationale for creating this is that it's a relatively new technology and very few pieces of software support it. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  19:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, we do have a list of DVD-playing software here. For this reason, unless someone spots a more comprehensive article we can redirect this to, keep. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:26, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah that was my reason, I think it is helpful since software is so hard to find. I did have a good look around but ended up finding and buying PowerDVD just because nothing else seems to have the proper support for all the stuff for the discs... --Kittins floating in the sky yay (talk) 07:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The list Media player (application software) does not purport to be all DVD-playing software only a subset, but perhaps a redirect there, since Blu-ray fits that article's definition of "media". Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - That article is not helpful to people looking for either DVD or Blu-Ray players as it only says whether it plays video, which is totally meaningless when there are three disc formats (CD-video, DVD, Blu-Ray) as well as all the PC video "codec" formats...


 * Just because it's quite empty at the moment isn't really a valid reason to delete, I knew it looked empty but the solution is to improve it (it'd help if there was some kind of external list but I couldn't find anything on blu-ray.com etc via google) not delete just because it doesn't meet your standard from the start... --Kittins floating in the sky yay (talk) 07:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge with the more general Media player (application software). --neon white talk 08:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as the article stands its empty. If the article would be fully developed it wouldn't comply with the policies and guidelines because Wikipedia isn't a directory, nor is it an indiscriminate collection of information.  Them  From  Space  18:19, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –Juliancolton Tropical  Cyclone  19:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete first of all because it does not have sufficient information and references to be kept as an article and be notable and secondly, such softwares can be named under articles like "blue-ray" and I am sure in articles like Blue-ray, there is a section as "software" and all these softwares can be added there and there is no need for making a separate article. Poeple generally search for key words like "Blue-ray" and usually do not search for all the words together. Parvazbato59 (talk) 19:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, one item is not a list! Tavix (talk) 19:53, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – not yet! Maybe at a future time when Blu-ray becomes more common, but not now. MuZemike 22:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Stupid comment – this reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where the German guys who bought the power plant from Mr. Burns announced the list of lay-offs in alphabetical order: "Simpson, Homer. That is all." MuZemike 22:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
