Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of quote databases
This article is a Wikipedia:Lists|list article, not a standalone topic-article. The Wikipedia:Notability|notability guideline does not limit the ''content'' of articles.  states: ''"These notability guidelines only outline how suitable a '''topic''' is for '''its own article'''. They '''do not''' directly limit the '''content''' of articles."'' The nom clearly does not understand that list-type articles are handled differently than standalone articles.Moreover, as pointed out above, the nom has a clear bias/COI when it comes to '''competing''' articles due to his involvement with bash.org. Rather than add say a {{tl|refimprove}} template so someone could deal with any potential ref issues and address any  concerns he might have, and instead of following , he decided to just prod and AfD with a laundry list of guidelines http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_quote_databases&diff=prev&oldid=297885954 in hopes that something would stick. He also prodded this article after it had already been prodded once before, which is a violation of the  policy. The first prod was on 2009-05-12 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_quote_databases&diff=prev&oldid=289476128 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_quote_databases&diff=prev&oldid=289579526 and the second prod was on 2009-06-22 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_quote_databases&diff=prev&oldid=297885954 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_quote_databases&diff=prev&oldid=297893623Contrary to the above comment, I don't see where this comparison list article ''"falls afoul of OT"'', and although the information included is very much Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable, I do agree that some of the refs need improvement. That however is an editorial issue that should be addressed per  and is not a valid reason for wholesale deletion
