Thistle (color)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Just another not-notable, poorly-sourced (only source is a dictionary) article on a color that is basically a dictionary definition. It's similar to this AfD nominee and the most of the other articles linked in that AfD. This one happens to be a X11 color, but it should stand for AfD based on its own notability- and if it isn't individually notable then it should just be part of the X11 colors article.

 * Keep we should keep all X11 colors, it is better to have complete coverage. I have made more complete arguments for other colors from well defined groups (such as crayola) Francis Bond (talk) 07:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You still haven't pointed out what makes this specific color satisfy the notability requirements for inclusion on Wikipedia. Is there significant coverage of this specific color- in detail- that can satisfy WP:GNG? If there is, it can have a separate article. If not, then it can't and should remain part of the X11 article.--Slon02 (talk) 20:31, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - No coverage about the specific individual X11 colour to establish it as notable for an independent article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:35, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge - X11 color. Merge into Variations of purple. VMS Mosaic (talk) 02:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge - I merged it into the variations of purple section of the Purple article, so there is no need for a separate article. Keraunos (talk) 06:59, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Keraunos has indeed merged to the Purple entry, and has included X11 spec & attribution (and that nice photo!). --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
