Contested redirect several times without improvement. Not enough in-depth coverage to show independent notability. And currently not enough sourcing to pass WP:VERIFY. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:04, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Why is this less notable than Romanian keyboard layout, Icelandic keyboard layout, Icelandic keyboard layout, etc.? In your view, should all of these be merged into List of QWERTY keyboard language variants? Caleb Stanford (talk) 17:58, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have not looked at the other ones in depth, but please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If they are as poorly sourced as this one, then yes, as an ATD, redirecting to the variant page would be preferable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:47, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I know about WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I was asking for your opinion. Thanks! Caleb Stanford (talk) 03:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: to List of QWERTY keyboard language variants. Merge is unneeded as this entire page is already present in that list. In my searching reliable sourcing was thin, mostly blogs and reddit talking about it. Perhaps there is more in Italian, as always I will reconsider if presented with non-English sources.

The entirety of the Icelandic keyboard layout article is also already at the list article so it could probably be redirected as well. Its only source is a primary source defining it. Moritoriko (talk) 23:45, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
~~Merge and~~ Redirect to qwerty variants, it barely even looks that different. EDIT: Looks like it’s a fork of whats on that list, so it doesnt even need a merge. Metallurgist (talk) 01:22, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Original author here. In my opinion List of QWERTY keyboard language variants is too large and may be difficult to navigate, this is why I created this page to add the new info. Neq00 (talk) 16:37, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Side comment: it’s not only about the Italian layout. I think that most of the info in that page should be moved to language-specific pages, leaving only basic info about the layouts and See also links. Neq00 (talk) 16:41, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: to List of QWERTY keyboard language variants I think redirecting makes the most sense here and this page seems to be the ideal place for the information from this article to live. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 20:16, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
