The result was   Rename. Consensus is to rename. "Mobile applications" is more reasonable that "apps" from what I can see the panda ₯’  22:43, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia App

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Self-refential article that cites no reliable sources that discuss the article's topic in some detail. No indication of notability. Instead it's a spamlink farm. Was prodded for that reason, prod removed by 71.163.241.12, who claimed that "Wikipedia apps have extensive major media coverage" without providing a single example. I'm not opposed to turning the page into something in the Wikipedia namespace if someone wants to do so, but it's not a valid topic for an article. Huon (talk) 16:13, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, nice amount of sourcing and more out there available. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 10:35, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or rename and change the scope of the article to List of Wikipedia apps or something similar. Most of the non-affiliated sources pertain to different apps than the main topic of the article, artificially inflating its notability. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 11:53, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename to that suggestion, by, is also another good idea. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 17:48, 29 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Rename seems like the best solution. VMS Mosaic (talk)
 * Merge or Redirect to Wikipedia. The sourcing is really really poor as it is. There are plenty of "top 5 ways to access Wikipedia on your phone" lists out there, but the notable subject is Wikipedia. Even if it scrapes by GNG, it doesn't merit its own article. The only thing that would make sense is List of Wikipedia mobile applications, but the number of such applications with their own Wikipedia articles (such that they would be included) is so small it would again make sense to incorporate them into Wikipedia. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  15:33, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
