Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SVG tools

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of vector graphics editors. History will be left intact since many seem interested in merging, what and where to merge are editorial decisions, as always. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SVG tools

SVG tools (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Though it has some explanations of the software, most are just external links. This is in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. --HAL2008 21:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep good faith attempt to compare vector graphics tools. Similar pages include comparison of raster graphics editors. Needs improvement and probably a tweak to the name, but not deletion. --h2g2bob (talk) 00:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm going to change to Merge to List of vector graphics editors and SVG, as we already have a list of vector graphics tools. A lot of the rest could be rewritten into "Support in applications" and "Support in browsers" in the SVG article. --h2g2bob (talk) 17:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: If it is kept, shouldn't it be moved to List of SVG tools? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Worthwhile information, but needs more content to meet Wikipedia standards. Perhaps should be listed on 'articles needing attention'?. DaveApter 09:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete - list of products at one point of time. WP is not DMOZ. If kept it should be renamed to "List of ..." and better yet, a historical overview would be more valuable for WP than the product list (e.g. first SVG editor, when, what features were added over time, standard compatibility over time, etc).

• Merge Wikipedia is not a collection of links. All of these links are, as far as I can see, spam related, so the most notable of them should be included in SVG or in List of vector graphics editors. - G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 22:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Not sure if it should be in mainspace, but would a few of the resources make any sense in the Wikipedia namespace as a list of resource? For those of us who would like to upload in SVG but have no current program that will handle them for editing, I can see a Wikipedia:List of SVG Tools LaughingVulcan 00:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Actually, that isn't a bad idea. This page could be moved, or merged with a Wikipedia namespace article. I support that idea as well.
    • Good idea - it would make most sense on commons:. The SVG help page commons:Commons:SVG has only one or two suggestions, so this could be helpful. However, I'm not sure how to go about moving across wikis, or whether we need to ask those on commons first. --h2g2bob (talk) 00:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
      • Comment Yeah, putting it on commons would be a good idea. This is the transwiki page in the Wikipedia namespace. Take a look at that, maybe it'll help. -HAL2008 talk 01:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
• Soft Delete I believe that a soft delete would be useful, though I nominated the article for deletion, I did have a soft deletion in mind when making that nomination, though the problem is only a few links can be merged, not the whole article. I'm still a bit new... so I'm getting the hang of it. I also support a rename if possible to the Wikipedia namespace for some, if not all of the links, as they would be good for giving people information on how to acquire freeware Vector Graphics editors. I'd like to thank everyone so far in helping me learn, and taking part in the discussion, and any who voice their opinions from this point forward as well. --HAL2008 talk 03:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to List of SVG Tools or something else. Astrale01^talk_contribs 14:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: Why are people suggesting this be merged with a dead article?--Mike18xx 00:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: The topic appears to be notable enough....this article needs a cleanup tag, not an RfD.--Mike18xx 00:37, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
• Move/transwiki to Wikipedia namespace or Commons and Merge notable links to SVG per G1ggy. Ichibani _u^t_c 03:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
