Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SVG tools
Though it has some explanations of the software, most are just external links. This is in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. --HAL2008 21:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Keepgood faith attempt to compare vector graphics tools. Similar pages include comparison of raster graphics editors. Needs improvement and probably a tweak to the name, but not deletion. --h2g2bob (talk) 00:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)- I'm going to change to Merge to List of vector graphics editors and SVG, as we already have a list of vector graphics tools. A lot of the rest could be rewritten into "Support in applications" and "Support in browsers" in the SVG article. --h2g2bob (talk) 17:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: If it is kept, shouldn't it be moved to List of SVG tools? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Worthwhile information, but needs more content to meet Wikipedia standards. Perhaps should be listed on 'articles needing attention'?. DaveApter 09:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete - list of products at one point of time. WP is not DMOZ. If kept it should be renamed to "List of ..." and better yet, a historical overview would be more valuable for WP than the product list (e.g. first SVG editor, when, what features were added over time, standard compatibility over time, etc).

- Merge Wikipedia is not a collection of links. All of these links are, as far as I can see, spam related, so the most notable of them should be included in SVG or in List of vector graphics editors. - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 22:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Not sure if it should be in mainspace, but would a few of the resources make any sense in the Wikipedia namespace as a list of resource? For those of us who would like to upload in SVG but have no current program that will handle them for editing, I can see a Wikipedia:List of SVG Tools LaughingVulcan 00:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Actually, that isn't a bad idea. This page could be moved, or merged with a Wikipedia namespace article. I support that idea as well.
- Soft Delete I believe that a soft delete would be useful, though I nominated the article for deletion, I did have a soft deletion in mind when making that nomination, though the problem is only a few links can be merged, not the whole article. I'm still a bit new... so I'm getting the hang of it. I also support a rename if possible to the Wikipedia namespace for some, if not all of the links, as they would be good for giving people information on how to acquire freeware Vector Graphics editors. I'd like to thank everyone so far in helping me learn, and taking part in the discussion, and any who voice their opinions from this point forward as well. --HAL2008 talk 03:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
