Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Freeware (2)

Freeware
Freeware looks like a listing of freeware applications to me, like someone might find on dmoz.org then a book on understanding what freeware is. --dark lama  23:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Definitely not a textbook - it looks like a giant list. -Mike.lifeguard 00:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - may be useful but unfortunately not everything that's useful can or should be here, and this is not textbook material. I can't really think of anywhere else something like this could go, but hopefully somewhere. Mattb112885 (talk to me) 00:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Out-of-date list that isn't really textbook material. -within focus 22:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't there a Free Ware List page at Wikipedia were this content can be used ? --Panic 23:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is one possible place, for the FOSS ones anyways. Mattb112885 (talk to me) 23:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesnt strike me as anything that would be acceptable at wikipedia either. Wikipedia is not for useless lists any more then we are. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 23:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - not a textbook, and slim on content / out of date compared to DMOZ freeware listings. Webaware talk 08:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, and lots of little Fair Use images (logos) linked only to this book - they can go too. Webaware talk 08:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Keep - Only because this really is more of an appendix to Open Source, and if it isn't deleted, it perhaps ought to be formally made into a supplimentary appendix of that Wikibook as a page move. This is an old Wikibook, with the first edits going back to nearly the very beginning of this project, which is why I even hesitate.  Yes, Wikibooks has adapted and changed to a more textboook focus, but this has not been a book which has been hiding in a back corner of Wikibooks either.  It has been mentioned as a candidate for merged content in VfD discussions, a Book of the Month candidate, and is heavily linked to other Wikibooks content.  This last point especially shows somewhat of the age of this content... which is one of the criticisms above.  While not a textbook, it is a directory, and one of the potential ideas for what Wikibooks may have been if a hard-core textbook only philosophy hadn't taken ahold here.  --Rob Horning 17:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Wikibooks is not a web directory. -- xixtas talk 20:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
