The result was '''Whatever the hell [[User:Dsimic]]s said, yeah, that's the consensus, do that.'''. v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 17:22, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

'''Delete''' for being [[WP:POVFORK]]. Title and lead section of the article has no connection to its contents which is a [[WP:Content forking|bad fork]] of [[desktop environment]], [[shell (computing)]] and [[WIMP (computing)]] articles and certainly not about Linux. The core of the article is an [[WP:V|unreferenced]], unexplained questionable [[WP:OR]] sentence in the lead: "The term Desktop Linux refers to <u>all the software components that build a graphical user interface, that is designed for usage with a desktop computer and also devices, that offer identical human interface devices, such as Laptops.</u>" First, there is no mention of "Linux" in the underlined section. Second, graphical user interface is an aspect of computer software; it does not consist of software itself. Edits by some users like [[User:ScotXW]] has shown that they thought that perhaps "build" means "design and develop" and therefore this article is about software development. (I can't possibly say they are wrong because this jumble of text that asserts the title of "article" itself has no idea.) Third, the reset of the article is [[WP:IINFO|barely connected to this core sentence]]. It is from a flawed point of view that no other operating system other than Linux superfamily exist.

In a few words, this is what's been pretty much concluded so far, as a brief summary of the discussion above:
# content from the [[Linux desktop environments]] article (primarily its lead section) becomes incorporated / merged into the [[Linux#Desktop]] section (better said, the few bits not already covered in that section of the [[Linux]] article);
# there are already various desktop screenshots in [[Linux#Desktop]] section, so those ''might'' be moved into the [[Desktop environment]] article as well;
# [[Desktop environment]] article becomes a "See also" article for the [[Linux#Desktop]] section;
# [[Linux desktop environments]] article would become an overkill in this scenario, so the final step would be turning it into a redirect to the [[Desktop environment]] article.
Sounds like a plan? Thoughts? -- [[User:Dsimic|Dsimic]] ([[User talk:Dsimic|talk]]) 23:12, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
* That sounds about a nice course of action. Best regards, [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 03:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
* I'd agree to that. [[User:NinjaRobotPirate|NinjaRobotPirate]] ([[User talk:NinjaRobotPirate|talk]]) 03:42, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
* '''Merge''''—Now '''''this''''' is how consensus should be reached. Great job to {{u|Dsimic}} and {{u|Codename Lisa}} to reach this. I think your proposal makes a lot of sense, and I applaud you for making the effort to implement it. I'm mainly just !voting so that the closing admin can easily see what's going on here; you guys have done all the heavy lifting.
