Line 100:
:: The list as it stands now does not belong. A list that consists of links to articles about the packages would be ok (but if too long should be its own article). Most of the linked software would not merit its own article at present, as not being notable enough. [the result is a list that isn't really useful to anyone except the target sites.] I recommend starting a page similar to [[List of numerical analysis software]], and including one or two canonical examples as external links (say, to the largest open source projects, or to a third-party site that reviews and compares such software). <span style="padding:2px;background-color:white;color:#666;">– [[User:Sj|SJ]][[User Talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f90;"> +</font>]]</span> 21:47, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
::: Oh, and I <3 RFC-bot, which brought me also. <span style="padding:2px;background-color:white;color:#666;">– [[User:Sj|SJ]][[User Talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f90;"> +</font>]]</span>
::Is it not very simple to understand in accordance to [[Wikipedia:External links]] as it states "Some external links are welcome (see [[#What can normally be linked|What can normally be linked]], below), but it is [[WP:NOT#LINK|not]] Wikipedia's purpose to include a lengthy or comprehensive list of external links related to each topic." I have removed many long lists of external links from hundreds of articles. That means those must be reverted as what here is being discussed. I think '''[[User:Spinningspark|<font style="background:#fafad2;color:#C08000">Spinning</font>]]''' is in right direction.Links should be removed except few.Thanks.
