Wikipedia is not a directory for personal use. TBrandley (what's up) 23:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't created for personal use but as a reference source for everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phogirl (talk • contribs) 23:16, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - obviously, Wikipedia is not Facebook, or Twitter, or a directory for either of them. Obviously not some form of social media Yellow Pages either. Stalwart111 23:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- A compendium of university social media sites can be a useful page. The title could be more descriptive, such as "Social Media Pages for Online Universities" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 10thdegreejazel (talk • contribs) moved from talkpage by Yunshui 雲水 09:56, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It needs to be understood that this would still fail per WP:NOTDIR. There is a very clear list of things Wikipedia is not, and a directory of social media pages is quite clearly one of those. Such an article (if you could ever call it that) has zero encyclopedic value and belongs elsewhere. Stalwart111 12:31, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - the article is a WP:LINKFARM. -- Whpq (talk) 16:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
