Comparison of website monitoring tools (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Article fails WP:NOT and WP:SPAM. Wikipedia is optimized for readers over editors, Pages consisting of redlinks are unhelpful to readers. Repositories of Red link articles do not add content or meaning to the encyclopedia Hu12 (talk) 21:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete while I think that almost all of the rationale for this deletion is only cause to edit the article, the first reason is sufficient: Article fails WP:NOT. It's certainly helpful, but it's not really WP's thing. Describing what a Web site monitoring tool is would be reasonable. Perhaps even listing some articles comparing them from the popular trade press would be fine, but such comparisons are ephemeral and their criteria subjective. Not encyclopedic. -Miskaton (talk) 22:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This is just an attempt to establish a reason to spam Wikipedia with a bunch of "website monitoring tools". On a page like List of social networking websites editors regularly have to revert red-link additions of non-notable sites with the edit summary including write the article first. The list in this AFD is almost empty except for red links to non-notable companies who individually fail WP:CORP. This list fails WP:GNG. Johnuniq (talk) 11:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
