Speedy deletion

True, no specific product with this name ever existed, what does exist is a specific set of qualifications Microsoft wrote up that described to hardware manufacturers how to built a Tablet PC that would be supported by a specific version/extension of Windows. If this isn't clear enough from the articles content, the article should be rewritten, but the subject name is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahjongg (talk • contribs) 17:31, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. These "sets of specifications" (there are verious iterations of them) never mentioned "Microsoft Tablet PC" and never really where referred to as such. So yes: the _term_ itself is bullsh1t. "Tablet PC spec by Microsoft" <> "Microsoft Tablet PC". --Jhartmann (talk) 17:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So what you propose the article is renamed? -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just delete it. Since when do we need seperate articles for (depricated) specs by every single company if we have articles about the product category itself and even a chapter on Microsoft-based systems specifically? => Tablet Personal Computer#Microsoft --Jhartmann (talk) 18:03, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In which case I suggest you file an WP:AfD request. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well this article expands on that section and in terms of the past, see WP:RECENTISM. Offering a view of the past explains the present and future.--Terrillja _talk 18:06, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm more than happy to accept that this article needs a good amount of work, which I will do as I have the time. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:22, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

renaming

So what you propose the article is renamed? -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it is to be renamed, any term that describes what it actually is about, namely Tablet PCs running Microsoft Windows. --Jhartmann (talk) 18:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you come up with a suggested new name please post a move request on WP:RM. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's your point? If we agree on the term, why would we need a request? --Jhartmann (talk) 19:06, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And by the way: WP:RM is for "unregistered users and users not yet confirmed" which I am not. My suggestion: "Tablet PCs running Microsoft Windows". If there are no arguments for a better name, I'll rename (move) it tomorrow. --Jhartmann (talk) 19:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And also for controversial moves, which clearly is the case given your move has already been reverted it is in this case. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
