Comparison of web application frameworks

Looks like this is likely to fail OR. Grutness...wha? 23:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question. Does Comparison of Linux distributions fail OR? If not, then why does this article? --N Shar 00:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, the Linux list is too detailed to be merged in the main article. One can argue about WP not being an indiscriminate collection of information (e.g. list, trivia), and one way to avoid deletion is to take the comparisons out of the table format and write it just like an ordinary encyclopedia article. However, I think this would be a problem since there are many Linux distributions, and there can also be as many points of comparison; IMO, a table does the job better. This current list, however, is small enough to be included in the Web application framework article. Unless, of course, it can be either expanded or merged. --- Tito Pao 05:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no problem putting some of this information in the article as well, I thought it would be easier to add facts to a table for a quick summary first. Ian Bailey 16:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Merge with Web application framework.--IRelayer 00:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per IRelayer. I can't really see why this would be classified as original research. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 01:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. Creator has stated that his goal is to make the article similar to Comparison of Linux distributions. This seems like a good article, perhaps even a future Good Article if it's well done. --N Shar 01:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and reconsider at a later point. This should be no different than any other article in Category:Comparisons. Objective tables of verifiable facts should not be OR. If there ends up being a single table in which names do not repeat, then merge with List of web application frameworks. Pomte 01:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand per N Shar and Pomte above. --Zeborah 03:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a mindless list Nardman1 03:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If this article cannot be expanded, then better have it merged to Web application framework. --- Tito Pao 05:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Web application framework. Why have two when one will do? Philippe Beaudette 20:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

keep Comparisons are not OR. Research into the original documentation to find the data for a comparison would be OR.DGG 04:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. --MaNeMeBasat 05:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge(Template?) - I think that while the information is useful it is not enough numbers wise to deserve its own article - however the size gives it an advantage as it could be merged into each of the articles (possibly through a template) since it would not be like putting a giant table in the aforementioned articles - but instead a small, notable piece of information.Daniel()Folsom ^T|_C|^U 20:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
