Wikipedia is not a directory for personal use. TBrandley (what's up) 23:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

It wasn't created for personal use but as a reference source for everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phogirl (talk • contribs) 23:16, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - obviously, Wikipedia is not Facebook, or Twitter, or a directory for either of them. Obviously not some form of social media Yellow Pages either. Stalwart 111  23:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

 * A compendium of university social media sites can be a useful page. The title could be more descriptive, such as "Social Media Pages for Online Universities" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 10thdegreejazel (talk • contribs) moved from talkpage by Yunshui  雲 &zwj; 水  09:56, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It needs to be understood that this would still fail per WP:NOTDIR. There is a very clear list of things Wikipedia is not, and a directory of social media pages is quite clearly one of those. Such an article (if you could ever call it that) has zero encyclopedic value and belongs elsewhere. Stalwart 111  12:31, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
