Since DNS server usage is orthogonal to web traffic, perhaps a better ranking could be based on something other than alexa? I don't have anything specific to suggest, but ranking based on web popularity doesn't seem right. Esb ( talk) 20:10, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
I agree with whoever mentioned Alexa here. The Alexa ranking has nothing to do with the DNS ranking. If not one is against it, I can try to remove it from the table and just rank them alphabetically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fljack-scott ( talk • contribs) 01:39, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Agreed that alphabetical is the best listing order. Even if there were an objective source for relative size, it wouldn't help to order the list by it, because a reader wouldn't know where in the list to look for something. Bill Woodcock ( talk) 13:56, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Include 4.2.2.1, which is run by level3 communications (level3.net), a major internet company. Esb ( talk) 20:10, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Would this new thing belong on this page? Seems to be kicking up some news articles. https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/ Ronabop ( talk) 22:12, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Some of the name server providers in this list do not have Wikipedia articles. Should we be listing them here? -- The Anome ( talk) 23:08, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Just because some DNS provider has an article on Wikipedia does not make it "notable". Likewise, not having an article on Wikipedia does not imply that the subject is not notable. -- Lahwaacz ( talk) 13:15, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Agreed, this is a list of public recursive nameservers, not a list of Wikipedia articles. Gatekeeping by deleting public recursive nameservers from a list of public recursive nameservers just makes Wikipedia less accurate. Specifically, the Emerald Onion entry keeps getting deleted, and it's particularly notable since it's the the first major DoQ supporter, and one of only a few that are specifically privacy-centric.

Hello all. I arrived at [1] and Google Chrome browser "on top of the content" offered to translate from Italian to English. If I change the subdomain in the URL from "it." to "en." (English), OR if I search "freenom" in the Wikipedia Search box, the user is redirected to " Public Recursive Name Server." This latter page has a major first section called, "Public DNS Resolver." The company Freenom is *not* one of these OpenDNS or Public Name Resolver companies, such as CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 or Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8 -- Freenom allows the world to register FREE .ga, .tk (and a few other Top-level_domain's) for 1yr (their site mentions renewability 15 days prior to expiration). MY QUESTION: Wiki Community: Why the erroneous redirection?? Vid2vid ( talk) 17:59, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello,
AFAIK Freenom offers many different services like https://www.freenom.world/ and is not only a registrar for .tk domains. There is currently no page for Freenom and it's just a redirection to .tk that's wrong in my opinion as they are not even limited to .tk domains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mimi89999 ( talk • contribs) 09:23, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
User MrOllie is deleting entries from the list of recursive nameservers, asserting a criterion that this is a list of public recursive nameservers with Wikipedia pages, rather than a list of public recursive nameservers. If such a criterion now exists, it's not clear who established it, or how or whether consensus was reached that it should be applied. Bill Woodcock ( talk) 14:10, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
