This article was turned into a redirect to iOS (Apple) in July 2010. This redirection has not been contested. The redirecting editor used the following rationale: "by now, way, WAY outdated. the categories are best for this purpose." I agree with that, but find the redirect unhelpful, because there is no such list in the target article. Therefore I've undone the redirect in order to submit this topic to AfD. It should be deleted outright because it is not a suitable topic for a list. There are probably millions of apps and tens of thousands of notable apps by now. Sandstein 16:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Delete, such a list doesn't look like it can be encyclopedically notable. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeandré du Toit‎ (talk • contribs)
