Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dapper Drake

- Valid points and it kind of makes sense to me to merge it with the Ubuntu Linux main article. However, I like that way the article is laid out with headings such as Big News, Characteristics, Improvements, etc. If this was merged with the main Ubuntu Linux article would it be possible to retain this information in the concise way its presented here? True that there are no individual articles for releases of Adobe Photoshop but there are individual articles for each version of Microsoft Windows. -Etienne
- I agree with monkeyman. Merging this with Ubuntu Linux would also make it easier for readers to find the article. Having articles about essentially the same thing scattered around is just difficult for readers. Also, we should Redirect this page to the Ubuntu Linux page, so anyone looking for this will go to the right area :). --CPrussin | Talk 04:42, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- A yet to be released version of Ubuntu Linux doesn't deserve its own article. Everything should go to the main Ubuntu Linux article, but there's nothing to merge as this article looks more like promotional material. Smashy. - Sikon 12:59, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Ubuntu Linux then delete. We don't have separate articles for each release of Adobe Photoshop either. Monkeyman(talk) 16:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and Delete as a ubuntu user myself, I don't see the point of having different articles on each and every release of some linux distribution. This info makes more sense if it is listed as a section in Ubuntu Linux --Mecanismo | Talk 17:57, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect any useful (non-promo) content to Ubuntu Linux. Under the GFDL and WP policy, "merge and delete" is incompatible so "merge and redirect" is what we should have until DD is released and gets enough media coverage to become sufficiently notable.

- GFDL? What does the GFDL have to do with wiki policies? - Sikon 04:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Absolutely nothing, apart from perhaps being part of the very foundations upon which Wikipedia is built. Of course, there's no harm in leaving a redirect (preferably a soft one so readers know why they're being redirected). 18:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

- Merge with Ubuntu Linux then delete. My initial thoughts were that this information was very useful (I myself just learnt about this release 5 minutes ago from this article. Therefore I think it should be merged and placed under the Ubuntu Linux article under a specific section called "Future Releases" or something like that. Matt0401 17:21, 25 February 2006 (EST)
- I'd go for merge into an article similar to History of Windows. --Vincent 15:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect per Barno. --Michalis Famelis 14:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect, it would be fine as a section in the main article. --AppleNick 04:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
