  • The article gives a definition for "multiple phone web based application framework", however a quick Google search reveals that this name has been invented through Wikipedia, which may be considered "original research".
  • The article is used to promote frameworks that seem to have absolutely no relevance; e.g. a Google search for "Big5Apps" links to this article, a Google Group and otherwise nonsense. Same applies to e.g. "MobileReflex" (Google: only a link to the company's website). "iPFaces", "Canappi", "Jmango" and probably many others have more, but still not many independent sources, their relevance is questionable; this looks more like promotion attempts.
  • The "History" section mainly consist of a changelog of the iOS SDK and a framework called "QuickConnect".
  • The article provides pretty much no information other than the comparison table, though I wouldn't be too sure to call that table encyclopedic content.

  • Delete as OR, per WP:NEO/WP:NFT, and for unfixably failing WP:V. Note however that I'm not sure this term is original to WP. There is some evidence of use outside, though it's hard to find between all the WP mirrors that don't get filtered out by a "-wikipedia" included in the search query. But of course, none of these are reliable sources anyway, and even then, the usage doesn't support anything here. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 19:50, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I find these type of comparison articles helpful and encyclopedic. (there are many in Wikipedia). They are clearly adjunct information to the individual articles about items in the tables. The idea that the term "multiple phone based application framework" is original and hence non encyclopedic is silly. The purpose of an encyclopedia is to organize information. The nature of organization is creating taxonomies and taxonomies require names. This name is quite generic and self descriptive. I don't think there is any controversy amongst people who understand this category with the title. Secondly, you may ask if this category is notable enough. Without a doubt it is. There a many many references about these phone frameworks across the web. There are large communities of people who use them. Showing a comparison of various frameworks is appropriate and sensible. As to the question of whether all the entrants in the list are notable, there may be some disagrement. But, it is helpful to know when comparing things to see an appropriately large list and let the readers make their own decisions about notability. Lastly, as someone interested in this particular catagory, but with no vested interest in any of the particular projects listed, I find this information extremely useful and unbiased. There is no alternative single source of this information. Philggg (talk) 21:06, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
