List of domain name registrars

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is a top 10 list which is copied from a website. It borders on advertising for both the source page as well as the registrars in the list. It may also raise a question of copyvio. Article history shows that attempts to change the format and function of the article have failed. Ham Pastrami 07:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm sure what to do in regards to notability, as I'm not familiar with the subject matter, but if the article is a copy vio, it should be deleted. Spawn Man 10:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - What purpose does it serve? There are no figures or statistics listed for verification. As it stands it just looks like an arbitrary list of registrars. A waste of electrons let alone server space.--WebHamster 12:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - perfectly good list. GreenJoe 14:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: A list of what? Arbitrary names? Why is #1 not at #10? The article does not demonstrate why, what criteria was used and what the actual figures are. --WebHamster 15:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Useful organization of information; this is what lists are for. Not a copyvio since list is based on uncreative statistical rankings. — xDanielx T/C 09:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per xDanielx. This list can and will be improved over time.  In addition, there are red-links, including Moniker Online Services which has been deleted. John Vandenberg 23:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Internet-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 23:22, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Remove the red links, and expand to include any notable registrars. Keep. • Lawrence Cohen  20:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete better cat than list for this, because no extra info is provided or likely meaningful. Carlossuarez46 21:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
