[edit] List of wikis

This is nothing but a list of articles on wiki websites. Wikipedia is not a Web directory. Virtually none of these sites are notable and this list and virtually all the articles on it should be deleted as advertising and/or vanity. Tysto 16:30, 2005 August 18 (UTC)

• Keep, I believe there are at least two notable wikis in existence. Kappa 17:03, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Except for a very few red links, this is a list of wikis covered by Wikipedia. It is not a directory of external links. If the external links in the context of the list are bad, delete the links – you would still have a viable article. If some of the wikis listed are not notable, VfD them, not the list, and edit them from the list. -- DS1953 17:12, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • If this is a list only of those wikis that have individual articles, shouldn't it be a category instead? —Cryptic (talk) 17:42, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Personally, I think that almost all list articles should be categories instead, since they accomplish the same task with no maintenance, but apparently there are people just love making lists. --Tysto 17:50, 2005 August 18 (UTC)
• Keep. Where else? Trollderella 18:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this list, and create Category:Wikis. Barno 18:30, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as appropriate with wiki, especially the tour bus section. Burn the rest. JDoorjam 19:20, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. It's a list of wikis that have Wikipedia articles, with a brief summary of each. --Carnildo 22:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Clean. It could be useful if it was fixed up a bit. Joizashmo 00:01, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Useful list. Not only of external links, but also of links to articles. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:48, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, It's very useful for people who want to spread. It's completely ascenine to remove this as there are many other pages with URLs.
