::::#I believe the article inIn it's current state is already failing [[WP:V]] by stating Windows 8.X is part of UWP. BySince failingthere to even have an article in generalisn't abouta "Windows apps" article, we violate [[WP:NPOV]] by promotingshowing just UWP as the onlysole app-platform solution onfor Windows. TheseMuch statementsof what I madesaid are easilyis verifiable by [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/ this sitehere] which is obviously a [[WP:RS]].

By failing to even have an article in general about "Windows apps", we violate [[WP:NPOV]] by promoting UWP as the only app solution on Windows. These statements I made are easily verifiable by [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/ this site] which is obviously [[WP:RS]].

::::#There aren't any [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that states UWP isapps simplyis a new name for metro-style appapps (because it isn't!!!). You can still run these so-called metro-style apps (aka Windows Runtime 8.X apps, universal or not) apps in Windows 10 w/o porting to UWP.
