This article is high in original research and severly lacking in third person sources Dwanyewest (talk) 08:29, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion This would be better discussed on the article talk page rather than going direct to AFD. This article is a summary table: every entry has an article that is well-sourced. It would be valid to discuss if there should be a summary table but there is no question of original reseach, notability or reliable sources. I suggest that this AFD be withdrawn as premature. jmcw (talk) 12:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Since I see nothing current at this article's talk page, I'll make my comments here. Personally, I think this table is a good idea. However, if it's going to be a stand-alone article it needs its own sources. It just can't be assumed to be reliably sourced because the style articles are.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep Use references from the underlying style articles. The article is source-able. jmcw (talk) 01:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Jmcw37. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 00:33, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agree article is sourceable. Papaursa (talk) 01:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep comparison tables aren't necessarily unencyclopedic by definition, we have others for software. Someone will have to source all that, and while I don't envy the task I also doubt it's impossible. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:52, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
