Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of mobile banking vendors


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. Given that so few of the entries have articles, the consensus is that more is needed to avoid having the list be a mere linkfarm. As Sosh was making progress, I make an offer to move this to his userspace if he wants to continue working on it.-- Kubigula (talk) 03:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

List of mobile banking vendors

 * – (View AfD)

A linkfarm with 10 vendors and their respective websites. PhilKnight (talk) 23:53, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Take away the linkspam and what do you have? A list of ten names.  Maybe it can be expanded into something encyclopedic.  But the original author hasn't shown any commitment to doing that.  Montco (talk) 01:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment List now includes country of origin/HQ for solution vendor, and also the type of platform that is supported (SMS/Browser/Installed client etc.) - hopefully more soon. Sosh (talk) 09:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as list of external links with too few notable entries (only 2).--Boffob (talk) 11:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Sorry Boffob, but you still have not convinced me regarding how you define which mobile banking vendors are notable. Why do you think two of them are? Because they have wikipedia articles for themselves? Actually two of the market leaders in this field (Monitise and Firethorn) do not have articles! I can assure you they are very notable, but sorry, I don't have time to create the pages for them. Sosh (talk) 09:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. You said it Dad (talk) 03:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Page has been updated with additional information since nomination. Sosh (talk) 09:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Sorry, had put my comments on the article's discussion page. I'm surprised you didn't mention this Boffob in our discussion there!  Anyway, I think this is a very useful page. My arguments:
 * The list has been updated by at least four different registered users on occasions
 * It was intended to grow to include all vendors in this field
 * I had expected that more information would be added to the table as time went by (such as platform support, geographical market in which vendors operate, Number of banks etc.)
 * This is a subject that many of us are interested in, why are the vendors that are operating in this area not useful information?
 * Similar articles are deemed acceptable: List of ERP vendors, List of ERP software packages
 * There are a limited number of vendors in this space - the list will not grow to very large proportions.
 * Purpose of this list is to try and provide a table of the solutions in this field in a comparable way. (This information has not been collected together anywhere else on the internet to my knowledge).
