Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of web directories

If WP:NOT a web directory, is it a directory of web directories? Just zis Guy you know? 14:06, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Wikipedia is not a web directory, but it includes many legitimate articles about web directories. This list article just links to those articles, the way all the other list articles link to articles on other topics. Haakon 15:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. Not so sure I'd want to delete it, but it does look like an invite to spam. DaturaS 16:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being "an invitation to spam" is not a reason to delete, since almost every article here about any commercial subject could be considered such an invitation. The article is well-maintained and useful, and it is not an attempt to turn the Wikipedia into a directory any more than any other useful list in the Wikipedia does.

Merge and redirect to Web directory. There's plenty of room. There is no obvious reason to break it out. Merging it into Web directory will help keep it under the oversight of editors interested in and knowledgeable about web directories, and able to judge importance of individual entries.

- Editors interested in and knowledgeable about web directories are already overseeing this list. If that weren't so, then the list wouldn't exist in its current format. Having separate lists and articles on a topic isn't unusual at all here. It wouldn't make much sense to merge List of casinos with Casino, either, to give one example.Rray 00:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
