Modern UI

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

This DAB page is absolutely useless, not directing anyone to anything having to do with the topic. The first entry, Nullsoft is an installer and has nothing to do with a UI. The second is a redirect to a proprietary typography-based design language from Microsoft. Neither has anything to do with the name of this DAB page. If you take out those two off-topic links, there is nothing left. The Dissident Aggressor 21:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per The Dissident Aggressor's reasons. Seems rather sloppy... Dinkytown talk 16:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't have a problem with deleting this page, because I agree with the nominator's rationale. However, I notified the user that created the disambiguation, User:Neo-Jay, and would like to know why (s)he created the page before I'm firmly swayed one way or the other.

Keep. Modern UI was created on 26 October 2006 redirecting Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, a section of which is "Modern user interface" (Modern UI). It was apparently a valid redirect page at that time. I changed it to a disambiguation page at 09:37, 15 August 2012, adding a disambiguation entry Modern UI (design language), which was an alternative name of Microsoft's Metro (design language) (see relative discussion at Talk:Metro (design language)#Move to Modern UI). Actually Modern UI (design language) was moved back to Metro (design language) on 12 August 2012‎ and Modern UI (design language) is still a redirect page now. I cannot see any reason why it cannot be a disambiguation entry for Modern UI. --Neo-Jay (talk) 05:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
