Comparison of email marketing service providers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unsourced comparison, tagged but issues not addressed. A comparison of just three service providers is hardly encyclopaedic and should be deleted. Biker Biker (talk) 17:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete leave it to Which?. A comparison is a subjective assessment based on the facts. Wikipedia can provide the facts but it would be illogical for it to provide the comparison. SGGH ^ping! 18:40, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Way too many low quality guides as is. Wikipedia isn't meant to be Consumer Reports. Boston2austin (talk) 20:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unreferenced; these "Comparison of product type X" articles also tend to be spam magnets, and need frequent clearing out of "referenced" redlinks, serving as handy parking lots for non-notable products. MuffledThud (talk) 20:53, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not an encyclopedic article & unref. Not even a long enough list to provide any broad comparisons. Probably fails wp:NPOV; WP isn't the place for this kind of thing, if a company/product/provider is seen as better/worst than a competitor company/product/provider.

Keep - There are numerous email marketing providers in the market to validate the need to include a current comparison of the offering. However, would agree with AfD request that more players in the industry should be displayed and references to increase merit of the article. --68.106.235.149 (talk) 05:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC) — 68.106.235.149 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

But Wikipedia is not a consumer guide. There are plenty of sites out there which will provide subjective comparisons. --Biker Biker (talk) 07:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - while there may be many such providers, and many of them may be notable, an encyclopedia should not be a marketing guide. Bearian (talk) 18:01, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
