Just a WP:OR dicdef with no reliable sources/notability. The title also fails the criteria of WP:NOUN. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 08:34, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Widget (GUI) – the article fails WP:NOTDICT, and the sources also only provide definitions. I was considering a merge, but there is no content worth merging – it is poorly sourced here and already well-explained in the target article. I don't believe the title should be deleted (hence a redirect) because it averages 50 views/day and still is a common search term; readers looking for information about graying out will find it at the target rather than face a redlink.

Redirect as above seems like a sensible approach, but in that case I would suggest making sure that the term "greyed out" is actually mentioned at Widget (GUI) - ATM the concept is explained but this particular term is not given. Agree that merging per se is not indicated, there's nothing new here. Maybe bring the Galitz ref along to source the term itself. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
