List of Windows Home Server Add-Ins

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This page is just one giant ad. The phrasing tone is very ad oriented ("No minimum monthly fees, no long-term commitment", "Find and view album art for all your music"), most of these products are also NN - A google search for Jungle Disk for Windows Home Server brings back little to do with Jungle disk after page 2, A search for HomeBase only brings up, rather random, results, searches for KeepVault and LobsterTunes bear only several results on the first page, a search Remote Notification simply brings up results for anything with "Remote Notification" in it.

 * merge Just add it to the WHS main article. It has merit, but doesn't need to be it's own article.


 * keep I disagree with the above comment. Windows Home Server is an important new technology that millions of people will adopt over the next couple of years to manage their increasingly sophisticated home computing setups. The Add-Ins are an essential and powerful part of this. The Add-In's forums are very active and a lot of developers are working on developing solutions to work with Windows Home Server. Windows Home Server has its own page - it is a commercial app. This page should be retained. If there are individual entries which are poor or dead links then they should be pruned by the community. If it is decided that the page should be deleted completely then 3rd party Add-Ins (most of which are free and provide very useful services) should (and probably will ) be added to the Windows Home Server Wiki page directly. Finally some of the comments above are unfair, for instance Googling LobsterTunes produces several pages of links and what is wrong with the phrase "Find and view album art for all your music" - its a very succint way of expressing one of the things it does to make playing music more enjoyable.......--Goelectric 09:42, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * keep I think that both coments are correct. While I think that WHS is a great program, and we should list some, if not all of its' add in's, some of these entries do sound like ads. Maybe editing them to be less "addy"? Links to the www page's? Stuff like that. I do think that the add in's should have there own page because otherwise, the actuall WHS page will get to overcroweded, and not every person who looks at the WHS page will care about the add in's. That's why this page exists. Well, that's my 2 cents. swat671 23:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * delete - non encyclopaedic list with no information as to importance at all. B1atv 16:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, W.marsh 14:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a catalog. This is just a magnet for spam. --Dhartung | Talk 15:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, wp:not. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  18:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a list of pieces of software which would each probably be speedily deleted if they were in separate articles. Combining them under the heading of "Windows Home Server Add-Ins" doesn't make them any more notable. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 19:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is nothing about this article that is ENCYCLOPEDIC.  We are an encyclopedia, not a damn infomercial. Say it with me people, EN-CY-CLO-PE-DI-A.  Do not merge under any circumstances.  Bur nt sau ce  18:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
