List of live webcams in the world
A list of webcams, almost none of which have articles, all of which are weblinks, so this article seems to fail WP:NOT a collection of external links. OK, so it doesn't explicitly say that WP:NOT a webcam search engine, but I don't really think that need saying in as many words. Even Java and Software are presented as external links. I'd be tempted to speedy it as A3, in fact, since there is essentially no content other than external links. Just zis Guy you know? 21:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I can't find an actual deletion tag on the page itself. GassyGuy 21:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Cheers, mate! GassyGuy 21:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I couldn't save it because some of the sites are in the spam blacklist (which probably tells us all we need to know about the merit of this article). Just zis Guy you know? 09:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Hard to see how this could become an encyclopedic article. Its at best an unmaintainable list better suited to other sites - who is going to ensure that no porn sites are excluded and that every other live webcam is there? Gw e rnol 21:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - a list of every live webcam in the world would be enormous, to say the least. So this is listcruft. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 09:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; Per nom. Next up: List of mail boxes. &mdash; RJH (talk) 22:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good basis for an article on Live Webcams, which we don't seem to have (please correct me if I'm wrong). --JJay 23:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There's already some content on the "live webcam" phenomenon in the webcam article. In any case, the article being nominated for deletion doesn't have any encyclopedic content - it's just a list of links - so there's really nothing to build on. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 00:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Some content? There is one line: This led to the birth of the 'live streaming webcam', which is still available in various forms today. That is an incredibly poor coverage of the phenomenon. I would rather see a short intro added to this list (adding one or two lines would immediately make it the most comprehensive coverage of the phenomenon at wikipedia). --JJay 00:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
