Standards-compliant
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There are hundreds if not thousands of standards in use around the world (see Standard). This article simply talks about Web standards. Furthermore, the article is wrong- the W3C doesn't maintain the HTML standard anymore. Finally, why bother having an Anything-compliant article at all? If there's a standard, then I think we can assume anything relevant to that standard is compliant or not. Sean Brunnock (talk) 18:19, 3 March 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * The noun form would be standards-compliance in any case. A rename to standards-compliant WWW browser would solve the "But what standard?" question.  But quirks mode seems to cover the subject better. Uncle G (talk) 20:00, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete To begin with, there are lots of standards to which one must/should comply that are not web standards, as per Uncle G. Oddly, the article on web browser is pretty thin - I expected to see more there about standards and compliance. In any case, I would suggest adding some text and sources to that article before creating a stand-alone article on compliance. Lamona (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
