[edit] Yahoo! Photos

Reads like Spam or advert, maybe a redirect to Yahoo, or Delete --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 21:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge without redirect. First of all, let's be fair: we have an article that covers "Google Images", "Google Groups", "Google Froogle" and others (List of Google services and tools). So I'm not advocating to retain Google and remove Yahoo. I'm against *all* articles of this kind, not for their commercial/advertisement aspect, but simply because they are a maintenance pain. Nobody can keep up with each and every feature/service a web site decide to provide; so, unless we have historical info, commercial facts or even undocumented things that can interest/be useful to the user (such as Gpuzzle or April Fools Search), all that such articles supply is info which are either found on the original site itself (so why replicating them here?) or info that are outdated (which will always happen soon or later). Thus I think that when possible we should ascribe them to a proper context-article, where they can be indicated to the user as external links. Or in other cases simply cited in the main article as "some additional services". As a rule of thumb: avoid info and details that easily become outdated. --Gennaro Prota 00:23, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge & redirect. I don't see what the harm in keeping the redirect is; should the technology become outdated, if people happen to still remember it and type it into the box, it redirects to Yahoo. No harm done. Incidentally, Yahoo Photos has remained unchanged for the past five or so years. Raggaga 00:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Yahoo!. Redirects are cheap. Stifle 15:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
