While the work of HUD is notable, this list of applications and websites does not appear to be notable in any way. Especially as the vast majority of the software tools included don't appear notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Appears to violate WP:Directory as well. StarM 23:23, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am the creator of this article (and not an experienced editor). I created it because it was consistent with the way that I use Wikipedia content (e.g., when researching software options for x purpose) and because I noticed a gap in the world of information -- not specifically on Wikipedia, but on the whole Internet -- when I went looking for a list. HMIS software isn't as broadly relevant as something like XML editors, but every Continuum of Care (there are about 400 of them and they cover the geography of all US states and territories) is required to use an HMIS application and this is the only list of them that I'm aware of. Anyway. I do understand that just because it's consistent with the way I use Wikipedia doesn't mean that it's consistent with how you intend Wikipedia to be used... If there is anything I can do to improve the article, I would be grateful for suggestions; otherwise, I defer to your expertise. --Ajila Khajit (talk) 12:13, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Software list article of unclear notability, lacking independent references. Also WP:LINKFARM issues. HUD publishes the standards for these tools, and as such it is not independent. We already have the article Homeless Management Information Systems that could be improved upon if any of these software products has significant RS coverage. As of now, none of the items have any RS refs. As a list, this is not notable per WP:LISTN - this list lacks evidence that it has been 'discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources'. A search turned up incidental mentions of specific Homeless Management Information Systems, but not discussions of these tools as a group.
