List of internet Go servers

Wikipedia's purpose is not to include a comprehensive list of external links as per WP:EL. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages as per WP:NOT#DIR Anshuk (talk) 06:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory. -- Mikeblas (talk) 08:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 12:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a directory listing. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 13:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP is very specifically NOT a web guide. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Transwiki to another wiki that is more suitable for listing weblinks. Wikipedia is not a webhosting directory. --Solumeiras ^talk 20:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I presume these Go software deletions are due to cultural bias. There would be an uproar if this were suggested for the equivalent chess engine page, or the Go pages were deleted from the Japanese wikipedia. --IanOsgood (talk) 15:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Actually, the lists of programs on the chess engine page are dubious per WP:EL and WP:NOT#DIR and should probably be removed. HermanHiddema (talk) 17:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Update. You are right. I have kept the spam cleanup tag on this page and this should get cleaned. But Chess engine page does have other information worth retaining, hence shouldn't go for AfD.
Notification: For interested parties, there is now an article Go software and a Category:Go software. Please do not copy lists such as this one into the Go software article. Write articles for notable pieces of Go software and list them under Category:Go software. HermanHiddema (talk) 17:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
