:::That's incorrect. This has come up before. Please review the comment I made to [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]]:
::::If you review the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists#Selection criteria|selection criteria]] in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists|WP:SAL]], nowhere does it mention any [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] requirements for list entries. The [[Wikipedia:Notability|Wikipedia article on notability]] specifically states "[notability guidelines] do not directly limit the content of an article or list." The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists#Selection criteria|selection criteria]] mention notability as a ''common selection criteria'' but, since this is not mentioned on the discussion page nor in the lead section of the list, it '''does not apply to this list'''. Please recall that notability criteria for a Wikipedia article do not apply to entries in lists.
:::[[Wikipedia:Notability|Notability]] is intended to control which articles get published on Wikipedia , not what is contained in those articles. If we are only comparing Notable database tools, then the article should be named Comparison of Notable Database Tools. Otherwise, every database tools should be listed in the comparison. I think a list of notable database tools is a far less useful article (and less open/fair, since we will be picking which products get to compete in the list based on their popularity rather than allowing them to compete based on their features). -[[User:Highspam|Highspam]] ([[User talk:Highspam|talk]]) 19:35, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
==SPAM==
This page is nothing but a list of external links which is totally in contravention of [[WP:Spam]]. I suggest this list either be removed completely or stripped down to remove external links to companies or products which are not notable (don't have an article on WIkipedia). Unless anyone comes up with an argument to the contrary I may start removing some of the spam links.
