Comment - leaning towards merge, as it is a historical utility and part of larger, notable software. Would List of Unix utilities be an appropriate target, or is the definition of utility used in that article too narrow? Can anyone suggest an alternative merge target?Dialectric (talk) 08:45, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- List of Unix utilities is about CLI software, so xload will be inappropriate there. It could be merged (along with Xcalc, Xclock, Xedit, Xeyes and other X.org components) into X.Org Foundation, which hosts it. Alternatively a special standalone list for enumerating all X.org components could be created. P.S.: I would suggest to withdraw this nomination and nominate all these X.org utilities together. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 16:17, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The X.Org Foundation article is still relatively short, (particularly if the listcrufty 'Developer's Conference' section goes), so a merge into a new section on X.org utilities sounds good to me. I'd suggest a WP:BOLD approach with the Xcalc, Xclock, etc, and just merge them without the afd.Dialectric (talk) 23:36, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so be this discussion closed as "merge to X.Org Foundation" (which I hereby cast my !vote for), I'll perform the merge. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 22:58, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
