Must Have PocketPC Software

While I can't find an exactly matching case at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, this is a subjective guide and original research which does not belong in an encyclopedia. Thue | talk 13:15, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How about 'inherently POV'? Inclusion of a piece of software on this list is entirely subjective. Either way, delete this. R adiant _* 13:38, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Delete: It is inherently POV, therefore it must not stay. Geogre 15:13, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete as original research ('must have' is inherently subjective). --InShaneee 15:35, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete Note that the author seems to be trying to create a set of 'how to' articles for his PDA. DJ Clayworth 15:40, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete, and gently tutor the author on Wikipedia editing policy. -- The Anome 15:53, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
I misunderstood the purpose of the Wikipedia, having seen Wiki's implemented on other sites such as XDA Developers being a source of useful structured information. If its meant to be only collection of stale historical facts meant to settle pub disputes I apologize. I was initially excited by a central repository of all knowledge, but if How To articles are deemed inappropriate I hope we never have to rely upon the Wikipedia to bootstrap us from the next fall of civilization.

Wikipedia is hardly a collection of stale historical facts. It's constantly updated and added to. We've got articles on recent stuff like Kenny McCormick and Harry Potter, but unfortunately, articles aren't collections of ~~historical~~ external links. Delete. Mgm|^(talk) 16:54, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Speedy Delete. User blanked page. Nestea 22:15, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete for lack of nobility. Nestea 01:26, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The originator blanked the page and 'revoked his permission to publish'. I think we may take this as the author requesting deletion. (no vote - already voted) DJ Clayworth 19:05, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete Although he cannot revoke permission since he licensed the content under a free license when he sent it, and thus we can "fork" it and work with the previous version. However, this must go ;) drini ☎ 19:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete I very seriously doubt there's a way to NPOV this. You 20:46, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
