Talk:Object Desktop

Not every single Object Desktop program is significantly notable enough to have their very own seperate articles. Only WindowBlinds and Desktop X seem to be notable enough to have their own seperate articles. All other programs only need a paragraph or less in this article. --Konfab user 06:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that many are not particularly notable, which is why I didn't bother to make articles for them - they are sufficiently served by the mention in Object Desktop. If you have questions about the verifiability of the information in the other articles, then that would be a valid concern - I'd suggest bringing it up on the article talk pages if that is the problem. Still, deletion on the grounds of notability is still not a Wikipedia policy, and I think this is an excellent example of why it should not be - the deletion of pages like ObjectBar will result in the deletion of valid information about the programs, as well as their history in skinning, and they will not be available as a base for when the programs become develop over time.

Put simply, what's the actual harm in keeping the pages? How does deleting them improve Wikipedia, given that they are already summarized on the Object Desktop page? It's not like having them around makes Wikipedia more than a nanosecond slower, after all. :-) GreenReaper 05:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This reads like an advertisement for Object Desktop.
