The term "Wintel" is irrelevant in a modern day context. A vast majority of Microsoft Windows devices today use Intel processors. AMD and Windows RT are pretty much obscure - very few people continue to use them at this time. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 03:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Reasonable, sourced, encyclopedic historical discussion of etymology of a common and widely used portmanteau. Carrite (talk) 06:27, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the word is often used in the media and though it might be written in the form of personal opinion this is nothing that can't be fixed by other and more neutral editors. --Lumia930uploader (talk) 18:33, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Ill-informed nomination, as notability is not temporary. Tarc (talk) 14:54, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep nominator fails to comprehend that Wikipedia exists to cover the entire period of existence for notable topics, not just "today" -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 03:06, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notability encompasses an article's entire history. There is an overwhelming amount of coverage (even the following is not all; I put 30 of them if anyone wants to expand the article) from reliable sources, thus passing WP:GNG: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Esquivalience ^t 00:55, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
