Draft:Windows 12

This draft has been declined numerous times as per WP:CRYSTAL. We also have no idea what would be the name for the next Windows version and there is a chance that Microsoft would change its naming scheme so the name might not be Windows 12. I would also suggest to create protect this draft until it has been officially announced by Microsoft Vitaium (talk) 11:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per policy. Cretinous page, now four years in the making. SerialNumber54129^{A New Face in Hell} 13:41, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom. This draft has been declined many times because no information about Windows 12 has been officially released and the main space version of Windows 12 has been deleted multiple times. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 16:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Iamsteve69420: Your reason is not reasonable and we are not deleting this draft, we are deciding whether the draft should be deleted or not. Vitaium (talk) 04:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't reply in all caps. That means you are shouting or screaming, and can be viewed as a bit childish. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - Rejected twice after 7 declines. This is a waste of the community's time in dealing with users who keep ignoring the need to get rid of this zombie page. ECP SALT so that an experienced editor can create either a draft or a redirect when there is news from Microsoft about the next version of Windows.

Comment - I noted in another MFD that drafts should only be nominated for deletion in extraordinary circumstances. Being rejected twice and declined 7 times is the sort of extraordinary circumstance that calls for deletion of drafts. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While this would never make it into mainspace right now, this is a product that is likely to be released in the future. I have it watchlisted so that when reliable sources start covering it more, I can watch as the article is expanded and possibly promote it to mainspace. As an example, here's a major tech website that released an article on this a couple weeks ago. What is needed here is for new editors to stop submitting this when it is in a state that will not pass. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The existence of this page is consistent with WP:DRAFTREASON #3. The purpose of drafts is satisfied and the contents are not so bad as to be categorically unfit for public viewing on the entire en.wikipedia.org website. But I get it, okay, I get it... Maybe block any tendentious resubmitters and implement some protection.—Alalch E. 19:09, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Striking Delete per Novem Linguae comment, and not replacing it with an opinion. If the draft is kept, it should be ECP Protected so that inexperienced editors cannot submit it for review. If it is submitted by experienced editors, they should know better and should be partially blocked. No longer saying Delete or Keep. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
