- List of plugins (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
The article currently contains just some random list of libraries, not plugins. No selection criteria mentioned, no sources, no references. I sincerely don't have a clue what does "list of plugins" means — plugins for what? If we'll really start collecting all plugin instances (i.e. plugins for photo editors, for browsers, etc} — all in the same list — what's the point for such a list? What do they have in common? A word "plugin" in its name? GreyCat (talk) 08:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Too broad a criterion for a list. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 12:38, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Inclusion criteria are too broad. - Mgm|(talk) 13:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Wikipedia is not a directory, nor an indiscriminate collection of information. -Atmoz (talk) 16:15, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No sources, incomplete, and always will be: there are thousands of plug-ins, new ones every day. Plug-in (computing) covers the topic adequately. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:38, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Rename to List of computer libraries and expand. If it gets too long, split into appropriate sublists. DHowell (talk) 03:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. My computer now has at least 5216 libraries available. I guess there's at least that much for other operating systems. Such list would be unmaintainable and, most of all, I don't see what does it trying to achieve? --GreyCat (talk) 09:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Are all 5216 libraries independently notable? A list of notable software libraries would serve all three purposes of lists in Wikipedia: information, navigation, and development. DHowell (talk) 05:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
