Removing list of XMLA Consumers
Here is my reply to User talk:Igorkrupitsky why XMLA Consumers section should be removed:
Few reasons:
- There are hundreds of XMLA consumers now. It's like having list of ODBC consumers.
- Wikipedia:NOTLINK#LINK policy - There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia
- WP:EL policy - which have the following categories to be avoided:
- Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services - Lists of links to manufacturers, suppliers or customers
- Wikipedia:NOTDIRECTORY#DIRECTORY policy
- and lastly Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest - you are the person behind ReportPortal, so promoting link to it on Wikipedia is conflict of interest.

Here is my reply to User talk:Wikiolap why XMLA Consumers section should be retained:
- I agree that the list is not complete but I doubt that there a hundred of XMLA consumers. What are you sources?
- Most technical product on Wikipedia provides a link to commercial product. This is what makes this article valuable. Without the link to sites to provide the technology the articles would be very dry.
- Yes, I am associated with ReportPortal but link it to its non commercial open source product.
