While it may be useful to have a comparison table for software used to edit subtitles, Wikipedia isn't the place for it. By definition, this is pure original research. Bfigura (talk) 02:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
::*Update from nominator - While I'm not sure how this really meets WP:V without running afoul of WP:OR, I do agree that there is definitely a precedent for keeping these sort of articles. (I did my own search of past AfD's, and the list below is pretty reasonably representative). That said, this probably qualifies for a snowball close. -- Bfigura (talk) 00:27, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- keep. Why is that "by definition"? This is just a table of features, without any synthesis/conclusions by wikipedians. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:15, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

So Wikipedia isn't the place for all these pages? Should all these pages be deleted because their research is 'original research'? No, they just offer characteristics of the items compared. They should be kept. So the Comparison of subtitle editors page should also be kept. Jgamleus (talk) 06:31, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
