Lacks unique content, already duplicated in Microsoft codenames — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treedel (talk • contribs)
- Delete no new content, no sources --Darth NormaN (talk) 16:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and redirect to Microsoft codenames. There are no sources here and it's not really that notable if it never actually happened. JulieSpaulding (talk) 17:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per "why is this even here?" :) Jenuk1985 | Talk 19:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and redirect to Development of Windows Vista. Longhorn wasn't abandoned, it was the codename for what was announced as Vista in 2005. I think the article is wrong; Longhorn/Vista was always going to be the interim between XP and Blackcomb (Windows 7), but as Blackcomb was delayed more of its features went into Longhorn/Vista.

- If you see the history,[2] it was redirected to Development of Windows Vista, then Windows NT 6.0, until AimalCool recreated it yesterday. AimalCool has been making a number of problem edits, just as creating unnecessary redirects, non-free images uploads, crystal ball pages, non-notable pages.

- Redirect To Microsoft codenames, but give the AfD process time to work. Treedel (talk) 00:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Why to the codenames? Longhorn was the project that turned into Vista, so Development of Windows Vista would be a more obvious target for anyone wanting to learn about it. Fences and windows (talk) 02:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "Longhorn" is the codename, so I suggested it go to the codename. It would be the same to me if it was redirected to the development page. Treedel (talk) 02:30, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Development of Windows Vista. As Longhorn was the codename for Vista, the development of Longhorn is really the development of Vista. A redirect to a list of codenames isn't as appropriate. -- Whpq (talk) 16:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Development of Windows Vista. It seems like the page does not need to be expanded, and redirection would be the best solution at this moment. --(GameShowKid)--(talk)--(evidence)--( 15:04, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't delete Why should it be deleted? The article isn't bad in my opinion. It tells you information about Longhorn; it has a lot of references and sources. Also, it says how similar it is with XP and Vista.
I don't think this article should be deleted or redirected. It should be like this. Slowly, more information and references will be added by dome people or me.
- Comment. AimalCool removed a comment of mine when adding their own comments. I reverted. I am now restoring my comment and their other comments. Fences and windows (talk) 23:32, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
