I propose merging to Visual Studio because the article is poorly sourced and lacks significant content or sources for standalone notability, and is entirely about one feature of Visual Studio. DirtyHarry991 (talk) 01:24, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

Comment. You don't have to open an AfD if all you want to do is merge; see WP:BEFORE. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 02:42, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

You might have missed the update—merge discussions are now supposed to take place at AfD. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:19, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

@Paul 012: actually, Erpert was correct. You don't have to open an AfD if all you want to do is merge. Please see WP:BOLDMERGE for more info. FaviFake (talk) 21:35, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

"If all you want to do is merge" doesn't preclude that merger being potentially controversial, in which case starting a discussion is appropriate. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:23, 6 October 2026 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. Erpert never said this discussion was not appropriate. (and, for the record, I personally think it should have been done boldly, because the article is trash.) FaviFake (talk) 20:46, 6 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete I'm not even sure there's anything to merge here given the lack of sources. It seems to violate WP:GNG and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:16, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
