Title of the article has no connection to its contents, which is a bad fork of desktop environment, shell (computing) and WIMP (computing) articles. The core of the article is an unreferenced, unexplained questionable WP:OR sentence in the lead: "The term Desktop Linux refers to 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." First, there is no mention of "Linux" in the underlined section. How does it come in? 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. Third, the reset of the article is barely connected to this.

I was tempted to nominate this article for deletion under CSD:G1 but obviously the word "Linux" in the title is bound to attract Linux fans to say "keep" indiscriminately. Codename Lisa (talk) 15:12, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
