Control Center

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Just because its notable enough for an article doesn't mean it needs one; is sufficiently covered in iOS 7 article. ~~Also places undue weight on Apple because the Android equivalent doesn't have its own article.~~ ViperSnake151 Talk 00:09, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Easily fits into the parent article. Reh man 01:04, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Deserves it's own page, as there is enough info for it to exist in its own right (much not added to the article yet), especially as it's highly likely to be expanded upon in future with additional functionality. Not having the Android equivalent on WP is certainly no reason to exclude this platforms WP page with its version: entirely stupid reasoning that is! Go and create the Android page if that's your own personal feeling, but don't use it's exclusion as some cheap jibe against Apple's platform's version being here (straight out of the 'troll' reasoning book!).

Restore redirect to Control center (lower-case 'center') Not an unusual feature at all really, covered in iOS7, and more likely most are looking for the DAB rather than the Apple item. All computer items have front end control panels and this isn't any different. Nate • (chatter) 02:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: There is no redirect to restore; I created Control center "after" reading Control Center, thinking it was possible people might be looking for that. Ignatz mice•talk 05:18, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's decently notable, and the actual name of the program is "Control Center"; create the Android equivalent if you see fit. Ignatz mice•talk 05:18, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It is not a program. It is a feature of an operating system. ViperSnake151 Talk 06:17, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Plenty of reliable sources to verify general notability. Just being a "feature of an operating system" does not mean non-notability. Compare this topic to Start menu for instance, which is purely focused on the Windows feature. Or Finder (software) which does roughly the same on OSX.

Keep Clearly notable, one of the more touted features of iOS 7, tons of sources available. Zach Vega (talk to me) 10:30, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sources provided do not meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. One source is self-published and the other three each contain 3-5 sentences describing the subject of the article, and while the websites publishing this content are reliable sources in some cases the sources cited do not meet WP:RS because they purport to be nothing more than short impressions to explain some big pictures being shared. Without other sources this should go. Blue Rasberry (talk) 11:58, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That's irrelevant. If the sources need changing then that can be done, but that's not a valid reason for completely deleting articles. Jimthing (talk) 17:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 00:31, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural keep - Notability established by nom. This is a merge discussion. Use the talk pages. Merge discussions don't belong at AfD. ~KvnG 15:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why on earth was this relisted? A simple count of the votes above gives KEEP as the answer: 4 keeps, 2 deletes (1 of those being irrelevant, being about WP:RS which can be changed if needed), and 1 irrelevant comment about redirection (that's already been done). Jimthing (talk) 18:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because we're not voting. ~KvnG 22:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
