List of IPv6 tunnel brokers

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Wikipedia is not a directory for services to conduct business with. No context or sourcing to establish why any of the listed examples are notable. Also WP:ELLIST, fails WP:V and WP:N. Many SPAs have contributed spam. I tried for a few minutes, but could not salvageable this as a stand-alone list with better sources and more specific examples. Common selection criteria has not been followed. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 02:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 05:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. per WP:NOTDIR WP:NOTLINKFARM. Just a list of websites. Ajf773 (talk) 09:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I know literally nothing about this topic but this is clearly a link farm and not an educational article. Dronebogus (talk) 10:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - for the reasons discussed above.MaxnaCarta (talk) 12:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - it is not only a list of links, but also provides intricate characteristics of each service, such as Locations, Protocols, Features and more -- useful for doing comparison and making a choice. In that regard it reminds more of the lists like List of AMD Ryzen processors, not a business directory. Especially considering most of the listed entries provide the service for free. In fact if the main objection is the "conduct business with" aspect, then perhaps it could be limited in scope to free services only? Thanks RomanRM (talk) 16:00, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep This is no less notable than various lists of internet service providers. These services provide access to the modern IPv6 internet when ISPs fail to do so. A DuckDuckGo search for "list of tunnel brokers" results in the only good resource being this page, or pages copied from it.

 * Keep Native IPv6 is becoming far more pervasive, particularly on cellular networks and in the United States, but there is still a need for tunnel brokers worldwide. I propose the article stays. IlliterateSage (talk) 16:21, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, article fails WP:NLIST and WP:NOTDIRECTORY, "Keep" rationales provide no reason for this article to be kept other than WP:ITSUSEFUL, which is a textbook illegitimate reason for an article to be kept. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:12, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a business directory and the article cites almost exclusively primary sources. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:10, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete/merge to tunnel broker some of the items on the list appeared notable, like Hurricane Electric, some are not. Andrevan @ 02:41, 1 August 2022 (UTC) (clarify that it should be deletemerged Andre🚐 18:21, 6 August 2022 (UTC))
 * Delete Per nom. and per WP:NOTDIR. NMasiha (talk) 12:45, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Only one has a link to a Wikipedia article, the rest are just linking to external sites. Category:IPv6 shows there is an article for tunnel brokers.  If anything in the article is worth keeping, perhaps it could be merged over there.   D r e a m Focus  12:48, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - List needs work and more than the few minutes the nom put in but it does pass WP:LISTN with itself being a strong reference demonstrating this is a notable collection. ~Kvng (talk) 21:44, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete Seriously. WP:NOTDIR, WP:LINKFARM, WP:NOTDATABASE and so on. LizardJr8 (talk) 02:19, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete in agreement with every rationale above. — VersaceSpace  🌃 03:33, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Tunnel broker: WP:NOTDIRECTORY applies. Only the notable ones should be included in the target article. ASTIG️🙃  (ICE-T • ICE CUBE) 10:30, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. There isn't stuff salvageable, but rather a list of external links. It reads like an advertisement... SWinxy (talk) 05:13, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
