Keep This (never-ending) list of critics was in the XML main article. It is not a fork but a spinout because I removed the content in the main article to create this one (and linked). The reason for the removal of the list from the XML main article is explained here: Talk:XML#Rewriting. In short, this list bloats the main article (which is already very long).

Honestly doesn't make the article look any less crappy, Spinning this off was at best a bandaid for XML, which really needs to be rewritten. --Abc518 (talk) 00:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As I see, XML is currently rewritten (not by me). One proposal was to remove this list from the XML article because it added no information and only confused the reader. I have no problem about deleting entirely this section from the article. However there are no Criticism sections in TCP. Hervegirod (talk) 00:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't see the need for a Criticism of page for this, you'll notice most end off redirected. [1]
It's pretty clear that this rambling, arm-wavy opinion piece doesn't belong in the XML article, so I am definitely against Merge. Another option might be to put in a new entry, rather than just pro/con XML, comparing it to real-world alternatives like ASN.1, YAML, and JSON, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. But to be honest, I could live with just deleting it. Tim Bray (talk) 03:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
delete - possibly the references may be useful for something? The article itself is, however, too much of a mess to save. Artw (talk) 06:53, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Content fork. These forks are made when the forked material is removed from the main article. They are the result of an editing dispute, not of a valid encyclopedia topic. Abductive (reasoning) 18:18, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
