Was originally PROD'd with a reference to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-ins (2nd nomination). Tech cruft. WP:NOTDIR. WP:NOTGUIDE. UtherSRG (talk) 20:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am going to quote verbatim from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-ins (2nd nomination): This article suffers the same problems as the articles deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of browser engines (CSS support) (2nd nomination) - it's a mass of often-outdated technical detail with too little context. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC). * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and others. Wikipedia isn't a tech guide nor a product comparator. Ajf773 (talk) 09:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tech product comparisons are a well-established part of Wikipedia, and don't constitute it being a "tech guide". See this search for articles starting with "Comparison of" and notice the preponderance of tech. — The Transhumanist 06:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is not a niche list, like the excel-addon list mentioned above. ~~Several~~ 18 of the libraries are notable enough to have their own articles. ~~Please give me a day to link to more existing articles.~~ Done. Three other articles are linking to this page. A few libraries were outdated but are now deleted.Tomastvivlaren (talk) 15:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as this could easily be renamed to List of JavaScript charting libraries, and lists are certainly something that can be included in Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is a straw man. None of us have any objection to the concept of lists. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Since when does name calling and flinging unrelated shortcuts constitute a deletion nomination? Calling it cruft is rhetoric. See WP:ITSCRUFT, which is a variation of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Obviously, the nominator sees no value in the article, but, just because he may never have a need to refer to the information in this meticulously crafted table doesn't mean that others won't. This is an informative list the context of which is very clearly stated in the page's title. In fact, it is being used—in a class to teach students (see the article's talk page)—this is exactly what Wikipedia is supposed to be: a learning resource. The shortcuts in the nomination are nothing more than a WP:VAGUEWAVE: a careful read of WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTGUIDE reveals that this list does not violate those policies, which makes one wonder why they were cited in the first place.
