Subject of edit war involving a redirect to Post-PC era. In fact, the article started as a redirect to there, until an editor split it. I had restored it back to a redirect, but the article was restored, and an edit war began.

This article is not notable on its own. It is only notable in the context of "post-PC era" where it is discussed in detail. I do not see any real differences between them, and post-PC is the common term. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:19, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Object, this is two different term used by two different company. Although the meaning may seems similar. Asiaworldcity (talk) 22:27, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You've yet to say why. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:37, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: About notable, when you search on Google. You will find this is not a term just used by Microsoft, such as http://thevarguy.com/computer-technology-hardware-solutions-and-news/lenovo-all-hail-pc-era. On the other hand, Post-PC era is just one of the words hype by the media when Steve Jobs passed away. Asiaworldcity (talk) 00:01, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or delete. Two names for pretty close to the same concept can be covered in one article. Every new term does not get its own article unless it meets the same notability requirements that other topics need. Even if the person coining the term is very rich. The different visions could certainly be discussed somewhere on Wikipedia, but it seems post-PC era already mentions it. I would say beef up that article first with more citations to independent sources, and if the section gets too long it can always be spun off. But the current article on PC+ is just one long quote that does not even mention the term, and then one paragraph that is full of English language errors. Not sure AfD is the right place to solve an edit war, are there other more appropriate mechanisms to deal with that? W Nowicki (talk) 22:23, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - the articles reference the same topic, even if the label for the topic is different. The fact that Microsoft has a different spin on things (Windows 8) is not surprising, nor does it make it a different topic. -- Whpq (talk) 16:37, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
