[edit] icon editor merge

why have you merged the articles to Icon_editor? There are a lots of icon editor and the page will be more of a product listing than an encyclopedia explaining what icon editor is. I think it should be reverted back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.71.219.121 (talk) 08:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I did not feel that the icon editors were notable enough to deserve their own articles. I think that it's more useful to have a single article comparing the various icon editors than it is to have a short article about each individual icon editor. —Remember the dot (t) 16:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, there are at least five major ones with a different enough functionality and history to deserve their own article. Then there are about twenty others that are more or less the same and I imagine it would be hard to create a sensible article about them. Still, I guess the main article should only describe this class of application in general. Maybe it would be good to create a new article comparing the not-so-different ones. 85.71.219.121 17:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
