"Non-free" and "Yes-No;" are showing up in the table, I don't think they should be as it looks a mess. I have no idea how to fix it, though. ZoFreX ( talk) 15:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't Tagged be on here? A lot of people use it for dating. Synergee ( talk) 05:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

What is the logic behind requiring a Wikipedia article for a dating site? Some sites simply don't have a Wikipedia article but service millions of users. Upon reviewing this list, at least 10 of the sites that I use daily are missing. This contributes significantly to the impression that this is so terribly incomplete that it is not even worth adding. It would take me a month to add individual Wikipedia articles for every site and then I'd probably get flagged because in addition to a Wikipedia article, your gonna want 6 months before it can be validated. If I see 10 sites that I use daily and only one or two sites on here that I have ever heard of, this page is not dynamic nor does it encourage adding to. In short, the requirements make it useless as a reference, the table is entirely incomplete and it devalues Wikipedia in general. -jase ( talk) 15:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
In no particular order, these sites/apps have been suggested for addition to the list:
The data on the number of registered users for each site (one of the most important facts) are typically more than 10 years old. Two of the most popular dating sites Hinge and Plenty of Fish, both of which have well-developed articles, are missing from the table. Online dating is kind of a big deal in 2022. A good comparison table on Wikipedia would be a valuable public service.
Why is there a column indicating whether heterosexual dating is accommodated, but not homosexual? Many sites allow both. If polygamy gets a column, homosexuality really should have one too. 2600:6C50:427F:EAE5:B534:9A30:CE34:CF64 ( talk) 05:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
