Talk:List of web application frameworks

message: The list of PHP frameworks here is too long, and contains a bunch of out of date/unused/unimportant/unmaintained sites. In the new content I've added I've tried to stick to web frameworks that are either reasonably complete and used, or interesting for conceptual reasons. Would it be ok to delete most of the PHP ones listed?
Actually, I'm going to go ahead and delete them, and if anyone feels I've gone too far we can merge back.
* Lakish - I am going to add them back in.  You ommitted Zend's Framework, so that shows that you didn't do any qualitative research into which ones are 'used', etc.  I agree that the list is long, but this is an informative page.  We shouldn't qualify what frameworks deserve listing, etc.  Besides, you can already see that some new ones have already made it to your condensed list.
* eshear - I agree, in retrospect, but I'd like to do something to separate the frameworks currently under active development from the ones which are older. Both are important for different reasons.
* I am the (sole) developer of the Canvas Framework, which, as of yet, has seen little outside community efforts. I hope that this changes, and I develop on anyway. Just because a framework does not have an active community (present and future tense) doesn't mean that it should be removed. This is a list of PHP frameworks, and all of these really are PHP frameworks. I like the idea of organizing in active development verses stale. I would hate to be glossed over (or especially removed) because my framework is small. I think I've got something worth everyone's while, and I'll be damned if I can't be on this list because someone doesn't regard my framework due to its lack of developers. (It is used full-time in my department for web application development, so it sees active use, just not publicly.) - Chiology
: Same thing here. I'm not even sure whether I should try to add my framework to the list. I mean, if it's all about promoting the stuff everyone (in the field) already knows about, than why have the list of framework altogether? The idea that to get coverage you need to be already covered is bothersome. Personally, I believe that notability is an intrinsic quality, not dependent on the amount of publicity something gets. - Roman  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.254.21.226 (talk) 14:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merger with [[List of JavaScript libraries]] 

message: I see there's been another purge today, in which frameworks that don't have an article were removed.  In one stroke, the work of a dozen or so contributors was unilaterally removed.
Why must this be so?  
This article purports to be a "List of web application frameworks", yet it has basically become merely a "List of Wikipedia Articles about application frameworks".
Is there a policy that all "List" articles must only contain items that have articles of their own?  WP:Lists allows for redlinks to articles that might someday exist; and also allows for articles about more obscure topics that will never have an article.
As it stands now, this page isn't useful as anything other than a directory of Wikipedia articles.  To someone seeking information about what frameworks are available, with a goal of possibly choosing one to use for a project, the page is worse than useless; it's misleading, as it gives an incorrect idea that there are only a handful of frameworks in existence.
I believe we should try to make this page a comprehensive and useful resource, including every framework that is either widely used, or is a current, active, viable project.
(Full disclosure: I am the author of an obscure, recently-delisted framework.) MattHucke(t) 21:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
