The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Keep - No clear consensus for deletion, not that I count noses, but it's a tossup. I thought of closing no consensus, but the keeps and merges are a lot more persuasive to me than the deletes. The article has a lot of good information and comparision charts as well. At worst, merge it somewhere. That doesn't take another AfD, just do it... Keep. ++Lar: t/c 20:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't seem particularly encyclopedic; it would belong on a how-to site, but not here. Delete Catamorphism 22:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Note that Comparison of web browsers got some support for becoming a featured list when it was nominated for the title last year. joturner 23:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment they included Amaya but not Adobe PageMill? Indifferent as to whether this is kept or deleted; can think of good arguments either way. If kept, it definately needs expansion. ergot 17:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Actually, after thinking about it some, I do have a vote. Move to Comparison of WYSIWYG HTML editors, as this does not cover text editors. Would not be opposed to deletion per WP:NOT. ergot 17:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into HTML editor. Otherwise delete (or transwiki). —Ruud 23:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to HTML editor or delete. Not a keep vote. Stifle (talk) 15:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• keep please this might become featured too Yuckfoo 17:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. If we have articles on the individual programs, an article comparing the programs does not seem out of line. -- DS1953 ^talk 04:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. FWIW, we also have Comparison of web browsers, Comparison of text editors (which is why I want this to be moved to Comparison of WYSIWYG HTML editors), Comparison of Linux distributions, and probably lots of others. Yes, I know that Wikipedia is not Consumer Reports, but if this AfD results in a merge, we really should merge the other Comparison of X articles as well for consistency's sake. ergot 00:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, or merge to HTML editor. Zaxem 09:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• keep I know I'm just a literary person who puts in occasional articles on writers and literature, but I depend on Wikipedia having articles like this one that answer my questions! If I want the gray pretension of the Encyclopedia Britannica, I'll go to their site. Or more likely, the five tons of tomes in the library. User:MSueWillis
