to easily compare and contrast "Criticism of Isla Windows XP" seems like a major plus to me. How are these criticism/critique articles different across Knowledge? How does this information help us in providing the best quality material for the encyclopedia? Maybe there are some weak links in the chain that haven't been categrorised yet, or that people have forgotten about. I can only find good in articles like this, which is why I have made many.--
514:
what areas are over- or under-represented when it comes to these types of articles? Can the way criticism/critique articles on different topics are written provide a template for how others should be? I think the concepts behind these types of articles should be analysed as well as a simple vote for keep or delete, as I believe there is much goodness for Knowledge that will be revealed throughout such a discussion.--
496:. Does not make sense to try to catalog every WP article with criticisms of the subject, for example it would also need to include any articles with text about criticisms of a topic. This list would be so large that it's useless. Also, it would be rife for misuse by editors looking to advertise their "criticisms of..." article. 578:. I can't see that the arguments for keeping are any less valid this time than they were 5½ months ago. For the reasons stated by Northamerica1000 and postdlf last time, and by Coin945 this time, this list is navigationally and organizationally useful; at minimum, move it into WP space rather than delete. -- 276:
As creator, and as an argument brought up in the previous AFD brought up - this is a very handy navigation page that can coexist with categories. I for one hate navigating through categories and find this a much easier way to see in one hit what articles share this common thread. In fact, being able
695:
Personally I am not a fan of categories at all, as currently implemented, so am probably not qualified to comment. And it's a question for a different forum. But I would object to those categories on the same grounds as to the subject of this AfD - they are not grouping articles as to their content
513:
In answer to BigJim707's initial question, yes. It is indeed a complete list. In other news, I think rather than saying delete with great haste, we should instead (or at least also) be discussing what can be learnt from such a list. Does this reveal naming anomalies within Knowledge? Does it show
404:
does appear to allow lists like this – those that "serve as natural tables of contents and indexes of Knowledge". I agree with the point made in the previous AfD that a wider discussion about the appropriateness of indexes would be more constructive than nominating individual lists for deletion.
452:
Is this all the criticism articles WP has? I would have thought there would be hundreds. I would vote for delete since this mainly seems to be for insiders (WP editors), rather than for readers. Having said that it is very interesting, and somewhat amusing, but that's only to us I'm afraid.
621:
says that isn't a reason for deletion: "For example, since editors differ in style, some favor building lists while others favor building categories, allowing links to be gathered in two different ways, with lists often leapfrogging categories, and vice versa."
81: 780:- I question the relevance and validity of such lists as they are, by their very nature, subjective, based on the creator's criteria for selecting the content. Inevitably, other articles and sources will have been left out, making the list 660:
If these articles just don't have any right to be on Knowledge in their current form, (and as I still feel that categorisation in this fashion would extremely useful), what do we all think about categories based on these subarticle topics:
182: 531:- not needed, and as people have said, essentially private to WP and also indiscriminate as thousands of articles have sections (or unnamed paragraphs) on criticism. If it's a personal selection of such articles, then it falls foul 76: 721:
hitting the nail on the head in the previous AfD. The arguments against were in my opinion insufficient, is there any reason why this list should not be held up to Knowledge's notability requirements?
176: 108: 103: 221:
arguments. I fail to see how this is a valid list, given that there is already at least one category navigating all these articles, and this does not serve any purpose the category does not.
112: 142: 95: 757:). Arguments over the usefulness/harmlessness of the article or whether it conforms to the manual of style are rendered moot if the concept behind the article doesn't even pass 135: 295:
If it has any value as support material for editors - which I doubt, but accept the possibility - then it should be in Knowledge: namespace, not in article namespace. -
761:. The selection of criticism and critique articles hosted on Knowledge has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. 819: 797: 770: 705: 686: 652: 631: 605: 587: 570: 544: 523: 505: 480: 462: 440: 414: 388: 352: 304: 286: 268: 248: 228: 60: 806:
There is no bias involved in this article whatsoever. The criteria for selection is pretty straightforward, and clearly outlined in the intro. Articles like

really apply. For instance, the entries can't be annotated, the list can't contain any items that don't exist as articles, and no sourcing is necessary.
