If you must put in links, they should go in a list/comparison article explicitly for the purpose.  Conversely, if you must do a mass deletion, copy the removed links to the correct article or to the comments with a notice not to add them again.  If you just delete them, people (who probably should know better) will just readd them and annoy the ones who are looking for them!  It's best to put a short note such as a link to the other article and move them out of here.  Yeah, this is an old issue - Wikipedia isn't tech support or Softpedia, but it's really nice to not have to search all over the Internet for the information and(especially free/open source) tools.71.196.246.113
