I removed lots of defunct sites, sites like Beacon_Reader. I made sure they all connect to Category:Crowdfunding_platforms_(defunct)Brinerustle (talk) 16:36, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The following is almost entirely unsourced. Moved here per WP:PRESERVE. Per WP:BURDEN please do not restore without finding reliable sources, checking this against them, and citing the sources. Please also be aware of WP:WEIGHT, which we determine by examining what independent, reliable sources say. Please also be aware that Wikipedia is not a webhost.

The unsourced content is being further edited without citing sources as in this diff. This is just a pile of unreliable words and numbers, without reliable sources. This is not providing the public with accepted knowledge, which is our mission per WP:NOTEVERYTHING

This is clearly not a comparison of crowdfunding services, but a comparison of use, models, variables, etc. Not a single service, e.g. Kickstarter, is compared to another service. If such a comparison is supposed to be somewhere else on Wikipedia, then it's missing from the See also section and/or hatnote. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 16:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - the majority of the content should be merged with the main Crowdfunding page. I will attempt to reinstate a minimal table before that change. StacksofHoy (talk) 23:36, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that when I see a Wikipedia article title beginning with "Comparison of...", I usually see lots of specific things compared to each other.

It appears this article once had a surprisingly long list of crowdfunding services, including Kickstarter, in a format that attempted to support side-by-side comparisons, but that list was removed in this edit -- see Talk:Comparison of crowdfunding services#Unsourced.

Does anyone have any Wikipedia:Reliable sources with any of this information you asked for? --DavidCary (talk) 02:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, Jytdog could be quite brutal, and that edit of him basically defied the purpose and eventually destroyed the article. Merging to Crowdfunding, as StacksofHoy has proposed, feels like the most sensible option. If later someone would wish to recreate an actual comparison article, old versions from edit history will certainly be of help. — kashmīrī ^TALK 13:13, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I came here looking for details on a crowdfunding platform that I considered using but hadn't heard of before. The article as it is now is completely pointless, it doesn't compare anything. User Jytdog was banned 3 years ago. If there is no consensus to revert his gutting of this article, the article would better be deleted so that in a distant future someone can feel free to write a new one.--2.204.228.254 (talk) 09:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do not want to comment in detail on Jytdog's actions or motivation as they are not around to respond but it seems to me that most objections to the article could be resolved by simply calling it List of Crowd Funding Services. This is what it really was before Jytdog took an ax to it. Such a list might be useful. The main Crowdfunding page is already long enough without adding lists. The cut material could be restored (and edited). Sourcing would need some work.Orenburg1 (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to consider whether this was a viable merge target for Loudsauce, I concur with all that's been said. – Teratix ₵ 13:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
