List of Twitter services and applications

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list has grown a little out of control. Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:LINKFARM I think it would be better leaving this to the sites that already try to link the hundreds of twitter apps and services out there. The giant comment in the page that points to the effect of it's link bate nature. Maybe a page dedicating to explaining Twitter applications in general and Twitter API, the OAuth pushes made by Twitter, etc. and mention in context some of the notable clients. Looking around, Twitdom [1] is tracking 1300+ apps. Twitter fan wiki is tracking more then my browser will load in 30s on their apps page. [2]. It's like trying to create a list of all Facebook apps. --ZacBowling ^(user|talk) 11:32, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. We can try to limit the list's scope to notable entries. Only 18 of the list's 201 entries have their own WP articles. — Rankiri (talk) 12:43, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and prune to only entries with articles. WP:Write the article first has been used to keep many of the Category:Lists of software articles manageable. In fact, I'll take a stab at it right now. — Satori Son 14:48, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This makes sense. Makes it more managable. noticing when its trimmed down, a few clients have pages that are far less notable then those that didn't survive Afd. Wikipedia can be an unfair beast :-) Time to whip out AWB and start tagging. Thanks. --ZacBowling ^(user|talk) 17:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The latest revision of the page looks perfectly acceptable. — Rankiri (talk) 17:29, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless reliable sources are provided for every item. Woogee (talk) 00:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I change my vote to keep. With the recent changes on the page it's perfectly acceptable which I didn't could be achieved at the time I recommended for AfD. If the twitter clients listed meet notability requirements it makes sense. Since there has been argument for delete, I'm not able to do a non-admin closure to keep. --ZacBowling ^(user|talk) 08:34, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
