The result was '''redirect''' to [[Dots per inch]]. Consensus to not keep, but no consensus to merge, so this is a compromise solution. Mergers, if supported by consensus, can take place from the history. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<span style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">''' Sandstein '''</span>]]</span></small> 12:18, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

This is small print in the manual stuff, I don't think it merits an article. There may me a redirect/merge target? [[User:TheLongTone|TheLongTone]] ([[User talk:TheLongTone|talk]]) 13:57, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

* '''Comment''' I assume the main article referred to is [[Dots per inch]]. From what {{U|Leaderboard}} has said we may have a [[WP:CFORK]] and [[WP:COPYWITHIN]] which might require resolution. I confess when I first seen the article my thoughts were quite interesting and useful for me (and ''probably'' notable). But the preferred option may be merge unless shown to be disruptive or would give undue weight on the target article. (NB: I am not volunteering do do any merge) and a merge by the creator might risk [[WP:UNDUE]] and not be welcome on the source. Awaiting comments by others really.[[User:Djm-leighpark|Djm-leighpark]] ([[User talk:Djm-leighpark|talk]]) 21:07, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
* '''Merge''' to [[Dots per inch]], since this article seems to share some prose with that article, and it's an appropriate merge topic. I don't think this topic is notable by itself, from doing some searches. [[User:Enterprisey|Enterprisey]] ([[User talk:Enterprisey|talk!]]) 23:24, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' into [[dots per inch]]. And if that happens, can we not merge "The short-term gain of this trickery was twofold"? There is already a [[Dots_per_inch#How_Microsoft_Windows_handles_DPI_scaling|"How Microsoft Windows handles DPI scaling"]] section in the main DPI article. <b style="font-family:Papyrus">[[User:Anarchyte|<span style="color:#18a">Anarchyte</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Anarchyte|<span style="color:#0d5fad">talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contribs/Anarchyte|<span style="color:#0d5fad">work</span>]])</small></b> 12:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
: That section is simply a summary; it undermines the importance and history of Windows' DPI scaling which has evolved over the years. [[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] ([[User talk:Leaderboard|talk]]) 14:22, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' or '''incubate''': We have a [[WP:SPLITOUT]] however content has been copied without attribution as required by [[WP:PROSPLIT]]/[[WP:COPYWITHIN]] and has remained that way for weeks since my early comment about this. There is no consensus between author of this article and others about merging content back to [[Dots per inch]]. Given the violation and the contentiousness of the splitout and the possible merge back in I think the violation needs to win and then content can be re-introduced under discussion with gained consensus or via AfD.[[User:Djm-leighpark|Djm-leighpark]] ([[User talk:Djm-leighpark|talk]]) 14:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
