[edit] List of wiki farms
Container for external links. Delete per WP:WWIN (Wikipedia articles are not: [...] Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. ). --Pjacobi 09:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC) !
- Delete --Pjacobi 09:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Certainly not worth its own article. Perhaps some can be merged into Wiki? - Mgm|(talk) 09:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and reincorporate the content from the previously deleted revisions, which were more than a mere collection of links. Christopher Parham (talk) 10:27, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to List of wikis and transwiki to Wikiclassifieds. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-13 10:46Z
- Keep, at least some of these must be notable. Needs some inclusion criteria. Kappa 12:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete or merge selected examples to Wiki farm at best. WP is not a collection of external links, and that's what this is. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep (possibly with clean-up) -- anything that encourages people to create specialist Wikis to which articles of fringe interest can be relocated ought to be supported. -- Simon Cursitor 15:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep / Clean-up -- valuable info, why not just remove external links if this violates WP's policies? --SamOdio 05:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep / Merge with the Wiki page? Potentially valuable, useful information that encourages future wikis.Jeb 06:48, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep / Improve - While it's right that no page should just have a list of links, older version of this page had useful comparisons that helped people decide what wiki farms to use and promotes wiki-use and wiki-awareness. A page with descriptions of the different farms and their pros and cons is useful for readers and useful for the wiki space in general. Additionally, many wiki farms have their own Wikipedia pages, like PeanutButterWiki, meaning that the page can at the very least index the Wikipedia pages about wiki farms.

- Keep / Improve - While I agree that WP should not include web directories, I think an enhanced version of this page would provide readers with a starting point for applying the knowledge about wikis contained in WP. This type of page makes the WP knowledge more usable. --Fogleman 16:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
