I don't think this individual feature deserves its own article. So either have this deleted (it's mentioned in other Windows 8 articles already) or merged. Jasper Deng (talk) 06:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep, the subject's notability is clearly established, by multiple, reliable, high-quality sources, even with entire articles dedicated to it (Ars Technica ZDNet Computerworld Softpedia and many others). Regarding being just a "feature", this feature has received very high acclaim from the media, and also extensive coverage. I also think "being mentioned in other articles" does not in any way conflict with the existence of an article, in fact, being mentioned in other articles only shows this is a relevant topic. --SF007 (talk) 06:38, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, but we didn't write an article on Windows 8's picture passwords either (even though that clearly was notable).Jasper Deng (talk) 06:40, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe, there might be one later. WP:NOTFINISH. mabdul 11:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- True, but there are countless articles on individual Windows features. - Josh (talk | contribs) 15:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh and I miss: please also delete then privacy mode, access key, Ribbon (computing) and other articles (likely all of {{GUI widgets}}. mabdul 15:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Obvious Keep feature supported by reliable references. Sufficiently different to warrant a short article. The picture passwords also deserve an article so the absence of articles proves nothing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- LOL, Keep per my comment above. mabdul 11:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. - Josh (talk | contribs) 15:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: though I would prefer this being merged to Live USB, it will definitely have its article, as it has already enough specific coverage. Thus I wouldn't break the natural order of events for WP:SNOW reasons. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 09:24, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
