I've looked on Google and Wikipedia around to see if Windows 10 and 11 are collectively referred to as 'Windows 1x' or to see if the term is used at all, and I didn't find anything. Regardless, this is still not a necessary disambiguation page when searching for a specific Windows OS because there are only two and all that's needed to be done is to replace the 'x' with a '0' or '1' to find what you're looking for.

Delete, I agree, this is a waste of time page and does not shorten or offer any convenience over the actual articles mentioned (and I am fairly sure anyone searching for one of the two articles would always put the full title in). Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete seems to be original coinage. Andrevan@ 19:51, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Windows version one is a thing, this phrase isn't used, on google or anywhere that I've heard. No sources. Oaktree b (talk) 15:57, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Windows 9x deals with a certain codebase, while 10 and 11 are part of the NT codebase. Maybe one day this will be a proper term, but not now when there's only two 1x numbers. Nate • (chatter) 22:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Then, i should create this article again, when Windows 12, or maybe Windows 13 releases? Tejfel Ádám Valentin (talk) 16:04, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tejfel Ádám Valentin: The term itself would have to be notable, such as with usage within multiple independent sources over a reasonable time frame. It is not up to you to decide if this term becomes more colloquial, so even if there is a Windows 12 onwards, that doesn't mean Windows 1x becomes a phrase.

Comment Emphasis in my vote! involving maybe one day. It's going to be at least a decade or longer before we get to Windows 16, and that might be the point the term may be apply. But it doesn't here, now, in 2022, and if it does in the future, it needs overwhelming consensus. Nate • (chatter) 02:20, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, it's not a term that's actually used based on my experience and research. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:48, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, ignoring https://windows1x.com/ this is not a term in wide use. It's bad enough keeping neologisms out of Wikipedia, Wikipedia should not help create them.--Mvqr (talk) 13:56, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
