Comparison of project management software

I originally added an {{expert}} tag to this article, in the hope that it could be improved. It is becoming more and more clear to me, however, that it's unlikely to ever be more than a collection of hard-to-verify entries, and the article's very nature makes it a fertile breeding ground for spam and POV. Further problems include the impossibility of keeping the page up-to-date, and the inherent difficulty of an informed, NPOV treatment of the subject. I believe Wikipedia would be better off without this blatant vehicle for advertisements. Ashenai (talk) 11:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Even if I did have any faith in the neutrality and factual correctness of the article, this table is not useful for making decisions (which seems to be its purpose). This would be better done as an entire website in itself with appropriate filtering options and such. The few descriptions that have any amount of detail in the descriptions are excessively jargony and generally look like marketing spiels. —HorsePunchKid→龜 17:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete as unlikely ever to become encyclopedic. Difficult to argue against comparison pages directly (Comparison of web browsers was even considered for featured status once), but the others I know of are all well maintained; it doesn't look like anyone cares about this one enough to keep it pruned down to notable programs or keep the spam out, let alone add any useful information at all.
