Wikipedia is not an extensive log of software updates. This article is almost entirely composed of a log of software updates, including versions and release dates. On top of that, I don't see any indication that the original version of Windows 10 is separately notable from Windows 10, so I propose that the page be redirected to Windows 10. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 05:17, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Though I agree with everything said by the nominator, I was surprised to find Windows 10 version 1511, Windows 10 version 1607, Windows 10 version 1703, Windows 10 version 1709, Windows 10 version 1803, Windows 10 version 1809, Windows 10 version 1903, Windows 10 version 1909, Windows 10 version 2004, Windows 10 version 20H2, but not 21H1 nor 21H2. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:48, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – this page was a result of an AfD discussion regarding the original Windows 10 version history, which was getting extremely long at one point. There was clear consensus that the version histories should be kept and the widely agreed solution was to split up the versions into their own articles. I'm not sure what led the nominator to believe that this version of Windows 10 is not "separately notable" enough; there are numerous third-party sources covering each release of Windows 10. It should be noted that the Windows 10 article focuses on the operating system as a whole instead of changes introduced in specific versions. I'm also not sure why other articles (as listed above by Lopifalko) are not nominated for deletion if the nominator so strongly believes that notability cannot be established for individual releases of Windows 10.

  • Particular releases, when split off from other articles, still need to be notable in their own right. I really don't see the above as anything other than reasoning to return the content to Windows 10 version history; the content of this article needs to be notable in its own right in order to merit an article. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 03:31, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Hayman30 seems to make a good point for keeping the article, though I do personally of disagree with the general "practice" of this type of article, at least split up in this way. I think Wikipedians are disproportionately hardcore Computer Scientists or Chemists - so many "database-like" / technical articles in these subjects are often created and kept.

• Keep -based on Hayman30's notes about previous discussions. Deathlibrarian (talk) 00:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
