Straightforward [[WP:CRYSTAL]] - this has not happened, and is just speculation based on rumors. [[User:JimKaatFan|JimKaatFan]] ([[User talk:JimKaatFan|talk]]) 02:36, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

:'''<del>Delete</del> <ins>Keep</ins>''': I'm sure we can wait a couple of days before talking about it, especially given that ''if'' Apple announces something, there will probably be some more details to add. As it says, [[WP:CRYSTAL]] [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 03:31, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

::OK, a couple of days have passed, and Apple's announced it. Now we can add facts rather than whatever speculation the "experts" were making. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 19:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

:'''Keep.''' Citing [[WP:CRYSTAL]] as a reason to delete this article is absurd. The plain text of that policy clearly states:

:{{Quote|text=All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced. [...]{{nbsp}}Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included[...]}}

Line 17 ⟶ 23:

*'''Strong Keep''': The decision to move has been officially announced as of the morning of June 22, so CRYSTAL is no longer a valid rationale. The same article exists for Intel, and while this article requires cleanup, there is no reason to delete now. [[User:Kiteinthewind|Kiteinthewind]] ^{[[User talk:Kiteinthewind|Leave a message!]]} 18:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. It's an official announcement now, and just as notable as the Intel transition. -[[User:Shivertimbers433|Shivertimbers433]] ([[User talk:Shivertimbers433|talk]]) 18:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. It's official and will impact customers and developers for years to come. [[User:Haseo9999|Haseo9999]] ([[User talk:Haseo9999|talk]]) 18:52, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' as arguments for deletion are moribund now but I guess potentially '''warn''' article creator that we have [[WP:CRYSTAL]] for a reason and don't pull stunts like this in future-it can backfire. [[User:Blythwood|Blythwood]] ([[User talk:Blythwood|talk]]) 19:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. The transition has now been officially announced and it's important to document these changes in an article. We have a page for the PowerPC-Intel transition, so it's only logical to have one for the ARM transition as well. [[User:Herbfur|Herbfur]] ([[User talk:Herbfur|talk]]) 20:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. Given how Tim Cook has pretty much spilled the beans on the ARM transition period, I don't think this merits a deletion. [[User:Blakegripling ph|Blake Gripling]] ([[User talk:Blakegripling ph|talk]]) 22:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. This transition has been confirmed at WWDC 2020 [[User:Cooluncle55|Cooluncle55]] ([[User talk:Cooluncle55|talk]]) 22:56, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. While the creation of the article jumped the gun, it's now confirmed to be happening and is likely to be as notable as Apple's transition to x86 processors. I see no reason to delete it. [[User:Sonictrey|Sonictrey]] ([[User talk:Sonictrey|talk]]) 00:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep'''. It's now confirmed to be happening. There is a Apple's transition to Intel Processors page, so I do not see the reason for this transition. The rationale for deleting this post is no longer valid. [[User:Retroity|Retroity]] ([[User talk:Retroity|talk]]) 02:09, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
