 * Keep: The rendering engine has already been released to users of the Windows Insider program. Thus, it's not a matter of speculation. --RaviC (talk) 10:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and delete: I wish ViperSnake151 had tried merger first. But two peanut-sized articles on something that is not yet released is unwarranted. This article's net worth is six sentences. Fleet Command (talk) 14:09, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge with what? --Sdamon (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why the size of the article is a reason for deletion. The engine is still in beta, and the article has almost as much content as the Blink article. --RaviC (talk) 17:44, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: If for no other reason than, as a major windows component, it will get recreated after Build when much more information is known. --Sdamon (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: First of all, this is not WP:SNOW because it is not predicting an upcoming event. Secondly, the content of this article can, if necessary, be merged but not deleted as this is the Spartan browser's new engine. Since Spartan may become the successor of Internet Explorer, it is not worth deleting this article on the new engine. It would be like deleting the article on Trident to delete this. The article should be kept. If it is still possible to argue that this engine is only worth a section about it in a related article, merge but should not delete.

 * From what Microsoft has said, the rendering engine is also going to become an essential component of the operating system, and all apps using the native web APIs in Windows 10 will use the new engine. Thus, merging the article with the browser article seems a little misplaced. --RaviC (talk) 16:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
