[edit] War Resisters' International/Links

This is merely a web directory. Even if the links are eliminated (as the author suggest s/he might do on the talk page), it's only a membership roster that is unencyclopedic. Metros232 05:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Am I correct in saying that main space articles shouldn't have "/" sub-articles? If so, does anyone have a link to that policy? --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 07:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: As mainly a list/web-directory, it isn't really an encyclopedia article. Ideally, such information should be placed in the main article (if this AfD determines it to be encyclopedic), but that would make the main article ridiculously long. Right now it is more of an appendix to the main article. Leuko 08:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• A couple of policies/guidelines are relevant. First, to answer BradBeattie's question, the relevant guidleine for subpages is at WP:SUBPAGE, which states in part, "Do not use subpages for permanent content that is meant to be part of the encyclopedia." Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a repository of weblinks or indiscriminate information. Thus, I must recommend Delete.-- danntm ^T _C 16:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Last sentence rewritten for grammar.-- danntm ^T _C 17:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - wikipedia is not a link respository or web directory. -- Whpq 23:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per danntm. Thanks for the policy info. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 02:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
