thread_title:  Missing 

message: This page has turned into a link farm. Seven gaeinc.com links is absurd. Two links to the same psimionescu/Fxy page is a bit excessive.  This mess needs to be cleaned up.  The List of statistical packages page is a good example of what this page should strive to look like. (Requestion 18:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All the red links in the Plotting section was getting absurd. It has been half a year and no one created wiki pages for them so I removed them.  This page is now 100% external link free. (Requestion 00:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What criteria did you user for keeping links?  WinBUGS, SigmaStat, and Scientific Notebook are still up.  I'd argue that SigmaPlot and Kaleidagraph are at least as notable.  This is not to say those should be added back (though I might be arguing to remove the last few redlinks too).  --Karnesky 01:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  My focus was just on the Plotting programs section.  The red / external link pairs had grown out of control such that the Plotting section was practically worthless.  I thought about deleting the red links in the other sections but I decided to limit my clean up to just the Plotting section.  I agree that the other red links should probably be deleted sometime in the future. (Requestion 02:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I tried to put the Plotting programs (graphing programs) section into a table with a classification similar to List of statistical packages page (as suggested above) concerning the licences and Operating systems. A thumb with an example from Wikipedia is also added if available. The thumb could be smaller, but Wikipedia doesn't like using ImageMagick convert program to shrink images (particularly animated gif), thus I used the default thumb size.--Nbrouard 13:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:GraphingCalculator3.png

message: There are lots of lists of things that do more than just information graphics (stats packages, numerics tools, CAS etc) but we get less information on them.
Why not move everything into the main table and put "CAS" or "Statistics package" in the "Distinguishing feature" column. That way we could see an example image from all of them.

replies: text: There's no reason not to replace the other sublists with comparisons.  We don't need to combine them into one giant table to do this.  I think that it is easier to navigate when it is split by the program's main purpose.  --Karnesky (talk) 18:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most software excluded from the main table 

message: It is a waste of space to have the columns: Public Domain 	Freeware 	Charityware 	Commercial
Why not have one column "License" and put the appropriate comment in it.
Kipper100 (talk) 17:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to replace it with three columns: Price, Open source (yes/no), and license.  This is how many of the other software lists do it.  --Karnesky (talk) 18:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  License 

message: This list now has programs that have no plotting facilities or which have trivial plotting facilities and should not be listed as infographics programs.  This page should not be a superset of all CAS, numerical, and statistical programs.  I suggest that we remove these whole sections from the article, as it would immediately tighten up the scope. --Karnesky (talk) 00:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't panic; you should have time to contest the deletion (although please review deletion guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to provide a fair use rationale
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale, then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Deletion Review
