Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free alternatives to proprietary software
The article needs to be recast as a list by tweaking the already short lead, and possibly by renaming the page. As a |list article, it provides good information that is very useful to readers interested in the topic. The page contains only two external links (in the ''External links'' section), so the page really is a list of links to Wikipedia articles and is original research only in the sense that someone has gathered all the information into one page. However, the page is ''not''  because there is no original thought, analysis or synthesis in the article.  does not prohibit the compilation of a list; for example, see List of software engineering topics and Index of Windows games (A). I mentioned this at WT:WikiProject Software/Free Software
