List of personal information managers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

indiscriminate list of information. What is this list actually for? Unsourced and presumably original reasearch Spartaz Humbug! 23:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * delete I don't see the whole being greater than the sum of the indiscriminately collected parts (is GPE Palmtop Environment PIM not included because it fails to meet some criterion for inclusion, what is the criterion for inclusion? What is this here for?) Pete.Hurd (talk) 04:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * comment&mdash;Lists are often incomplete; that is what Template:Expand list and Template:dynamic list are for. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There's nothing indiscriminate about it- it lists PIMs and gives information about them. The article should be kept and expanded. Lurker  (said · done) 18:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Lists of xy are an important part of the wikipedia experience for me. Consider a situation when I know the name of three distinct PIM-systems and I am looking for their main competitors. With the help of lists like this one I can find them easily. I'd be grateful if the list is kept, expanded and if the community looks after it to maintain it's quality.

 * Keep&mdash;This is not an indiscriminate list of information. Unlike some of the other lists that were nominated on 26 November, at least this one has the potential for being populated by articles that self-describe/self-categorize as PIM applications (based on spot-checks of articles and the existence of Category:Personal information managers).  The content over-reaches the strict boundaries of PIM self-description and the information in the table needs to appear in the respective articles (sourced) prior to inclusion here, but these are content issues and should not contribute to consideration of whether or not to keep the article per se.  Categorization alone is insufficient as the information in the table is not easily reproduced in category form. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep&mdash; This is an invaluable list, if you can find a similar, current list on the web then deleting this list *might* be arguable but identifying, telling about, and being able to sort a list of PIMs is supremely useful. -Gaiko --58.147.133.10 (talk) 05:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)--58.147.133.10 (talk) 05:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
