[edit] Animation software

Animation software (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Just a large, poorly written, POV list.

  • Delete: Per nom. While I don't oppose to lists in general, this one is just trash. I looked at the history and there is no version of the article that is worthwhile. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 18:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Computer animation. The subject of animation done by software is sufficiently covered there. As it stands, the article is absolutely terrible, being a sloppy, ill-compiled arbitrary list of programs. It is not unreasonable for Wikipedia to cover the actual subject of animation software, but as I see it, that is best done withing the main article for computer animation.

  • There is nothing wrong with having a list of free software under a heading that many 'surfers' might well use. There are many other sections which are far more badly written. As a retired teacher, I would have liked to read a brief critique in support of that POV. People use Wikipedia to find out information and to find links which can help them further their researches. This seems to be a standard approach.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.218.95 (talk • contribs)
    • Comment: it is not the standard approach of Wikipedia to provide lists of various sorts with POV reviews. We do have several lists, but this isn't one that we need to improve the quality of the 'pedia. It's long, poorly written and completely POV, something that is discouraged in any encyclopedia, Wikipedia included. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 13:40, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Computer animation. This is nothing more than a POV opinion on software and a list of external links, for which Wikipedia is not the place. Nuttah68 10:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
