List of Netflix distribution centers
Advertising/directory, not encyclopedia material. u p p l a n d 20:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC). Making my vote explicit: Delete. u p p l a n d 06:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic. FCYTravis 21:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think this page is useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.147.168.109 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete per nomination. Flyboy Will 00:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Highly unencyclopedic. --FuriousFreddy 01:22, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP is not space for a marketing dept. Pavel Vozenilek 01:29, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete, This is not marketing but rather is reference information (primarily of interest to Netflix users admittedly), information which is not published by the company on their website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oxothuk (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - I do not believe an established company is too stupid to provide enough information for customers to return their DVDs.  If the list is deleted Netflix will scrape by somehow.  Endomion 04:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This information would be better served on a site for discussion of Netflix rather than here. --Metropolitan90 05:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete, This is useful reference information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.78.0.75 (talk • contribs)
 * Do not delete -- Netflix does not provide this information and it's needed when a user gets a movie from a distant location. I really believe that Netflix will not publish this information and it has important customer service use (not marketing) - HackingNetflix — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.134.32 (talk • contribs)
 * Do not delete -- This is useful. This is purely reference information on Netflix, much like other articles. For example List of PlayStation 2 network games. That isn't marketing for Sony [or any game companies], but a reference for users. Pcjabber 18:59, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'd find this incredibly useful, but it's a directory, which is very clearly against Wikipedia policy: WP:NOT. &mdash; WCityMike (T 19:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Purely informational. --Nat 21:34, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a great page collecting information not readily available to users of Netflix service. Don't see any advertising here either. --Timecop 00:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - This page, while perhaps not the most encyclopedic article on Wikipedia, is an example of the strength of the wiki concept at compiling and providing information. Netflix does not make this information available, so the information must be gleaned from many different users of their service in order to create a complete list.  It is not advertising (any more than the Netflix article itself is) - if anything, the article will dissuade people from subscribing if they find out there's not a distribution facility near them.  --Dachannien 06:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete per WCityMike. Stifle 13:58, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Calvin166. xpanmanx 14:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as this list was broken out from the Netflix article to save space. Similar precedent at List of Air America Radio affiliates. --badlydrawnjeff 15:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete -- It's definitely not advertising, and it definitely is useful. It is somewhat limited-interest, but every article is to some extent. My opposition to it is grounded in WP:V/WP:NOR since, as previously stated by people voting to Keep, Netflix doesn't make the information available, and the list grows by various users continually adding to it.  The problem with this is, I could add a personal PO Box to the list, and it would likely never get removed, because no one could tell it wasn't valid.  Do move the listology.com link to the Netflix article, though. --Vastango 05:05, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - as long as listology.com link is moved to the Netflix article. --RosieCotton 13:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dachannien. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.232.33.187 (talk • contribs) 23:37, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep - i find this information about netflix to be useful--BillSpike 06:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is not marketing information, this is reference information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.108.212.2 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Hey folks- it doesn't matter whether or not it's useful. What matters is whether or not it's encyclopedic. It's a directory, and so is explicitly not. --Staecker 15:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Important, useful information that isn't any less encyclopedic than most of the other lists here on Wikipedia, such as List of ABC television affiliates or List of XM Satellite Radio channels. List can easily be updated and confirmed by Netflix customers, since these addresses show up on their return envelopes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.214.113.22 (talk • contribs)
 * Do Not Delete. The info contained therein is valuable and the article provides the opportunity for consumers to make smart decisions.  This is definately not marketing info, as this list is not availiable on Neflix's site.  From an academic perspective, this information is useful for business case studies, etc...  Finally, as badlydrawnjeff remarked, if this entry is removed, then WP needs to remove lists of radio station affliates and TV affliates.mshanafme 11:35, 1 January 2005 (EST)
 * KEEP! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.252.61 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep!!! This page is useful for the consumer but bad for who no one, why would this information be bad enough to consider deletion?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.160.143.54 (talk • contribs)
 * Do Not Delete. In fact more information on the mechanics of the Netflix operation would be benificial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.95.27 (talk • contribs)
 * So put it in the Netflix article. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia isn't an address book, let this info live at a Netflix-centric site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.209.219 (talk • contribs)
