Xen → Xen Project – xen is ambiguous whereas this article represents Xen Project who's core was more specifically XCP than it was xenserver from what I understand although it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. sckirklan (talk) 02:39, 25 September 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

 * Comment: Hm, I'm really not sure about that.  The whole thing is commonly known simply as "Xen", which would conform to the WP:COMMONNAME guideline, while the project's website does seem to use "Xen Project" instead. &mdash; Dsimic (talk &#124; contribs) 09:27, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. Not because it fails the PrimaryTopic test with anything else at Xen (disambiguation) (the other things being commercial products), but because it is ambiguous with the massively more significant Zen.  While I support WP:SMALLDETAILS generally, there need to be exceptions.  This case of (X/Z)en is special because Zen is massively more significant, "Xen" is relatively quite obscure/specialised, and because the two are homophones meaning screen readers will read them the same, as will readers who subvolcalize.  Because Zen is  such a well known but poorly known subject, I want to make extra allowance for the weakly literate.  Page view stats are interesting.  Xen has views of ~11000 per month, but it is merely a part of Cω which is viewed ~1000 times per month.  I am guessing that most page views of Xen are from readers mistaking it with Zen.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:01, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't think that's a valid argument for renaming the article. That's what the Distinguish hatnote is for. &mdash; Dsimic (talk &#124; contribs) 04:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
