There are wiki pages where we link to 3rd party / proprietary solutions
that provide information as well as links back to their websites e.g.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Community_Guide_to_PostgreSQL_GUI_Tools

but we don't have them at the top level. I think the URL immediately
above is ok, as it is informational.

That said, I agree with your assessment that we should not let the wiki
be used for pure advertising purposes for proprietary products. We have
a section of the website for that.

I also found this one while looking through the recent changes:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Ecosystem:dbForge_Studio_for_PostgreSQL

which looks like it was trying to subcategorize but not sure if it did,
but likewise falls into the same camp.

I would +1 for removing those pages.
