[edit] Windows Vista editions and pricing

Windows Vista editions and pricing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IPhone availability, sales, and pricing, also violates WP:NOT#DIR Wikipedia is not a sale catalog. This belongs to Microsoft, not Wikipedia. Chris! _ct 02:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Comment: I intentionally did not nominate this article for AFD, but removed all the pricing info instead. If a few days went by, I would have moved the article to Windows Vista editions, which is where the information should belong. As the article currently stands (without the pricing info) it should be renamed, not deleted. shoy (^words _words) 03:36, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep A very notable aspect of Vista that is (unfortunately for MSFT) too complex to fit on its own page. --- tqbf 04:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep: This is a WP:SUMMARY-style expansion from Windows Vista. -/- Warren 04:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Redirect now that the info is moved to Windows Vista editions. The pricing goes stale very quickly. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• comment Can't we just mention this in the Vista article? It seems redundant that we have this in another article. Chris! _ct 07:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, it was there initially but the mess MS has created with so many editions that differentiating them bloats the article out of control. As such it was split out. --soum ^talk 08:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete There's already a Windows Vista editions article. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep; could use a rewrite for readability though (the page doesn't do a very good job of sorting the mess that is the Vista product scheme). Nja247, The article up for deletion now redirects to the same article under Windows Vista editions. --Anon 121.209.160.15 09:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into Vista. 132.205.99.122 20:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Summary The article has been rewritten, changed name, and has the pricing removed. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 20:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I agree that this should just be merged into the main vista article. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 22:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above changes, and Windows Vista article is already too long. Epson291 02:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep bad faith nomination imho. --Ciao 90 13:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • How am I nominating this bad faith? I don't understand. Chris! _ct 20:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep' since the pricing in question has been removed and the page renamed to reflect that. Silver Sonic Shadow 04:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep per Tqbf, Warren and others. Differentiating the editions is very important. Unfortunately, that results in too much info to be merged into the Windows Vista article, mandating a split. --soum ^talk 08:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
