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)

* '''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]]&nbsp;([[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>]] &#124; [[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)
