St%D0%B0cking_window_manager uses incompatible characters and is confusing at best. An almost identical and more developed article exists at Stacking_window_manager. Per WP:DEL5 I believe this page should be deleted. Kadane (talk) 10:09, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a direct copy of Stacking window manager made in 2008 with weird characters in the title page. I'm really at a loss as to how this lasted this long. Bradv 12:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. As per nominator. Thanks for nominating on behalf after I raised up in IRC help. Xaiver0510 (talk) 15:31, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
- Sure thing. You left seconds before I typed that rationale. I waited a bit and figured I would just nominate for you. Kadane (talk) 22:05, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

- Delete No need to have two articles about one topic (for an entire decade...). Pavlor (talk) 09:03, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as a particularly sneaky content fork (a Cyrillic A instead of a Latin one). Kudos for finding it. I wonder if there are others using similar tricks, and who might be best placed to find them. › Mortee talk 08:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Mortee: Thanks for pointing this out. It appears that not a lot of articles use Basic Cryllic Script. In case you would like to review them I ran a database query here. When I get time tonight I will expand the search to other character sets as well. Let me know if you want to receive that query as well and I will drop it off at your talk page. Kadane (talk) 22:05, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Kadane: sure, thank you! I'd be curious to see what comes out of it. › Mortee talk 22:06, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Mortee: I found the page via WP:Orphan accidentally, since is is Basic Cryllic Script, a lot of them probably are ophans as well. I highlight to the wikiproject as well. --Xaiver0510 (talk) 01:35, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Xaiver0510: a good project. I spend time trying to fix orphans too (most recently Shady Side (steamboat)). Kadane's database query found several other articles that were misusing Cyrillic, which we've now moved. Now I've seen one, I'll be more likely to be able to see when another page is doing the same, so thank you again for finding this and bringing it up. › Mortee talk 01:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

- Delete due to this article being a duplicate of an existing article (and for the bad faith on the part of the author in creating it in the first place). JC7V-constructive zone 03:50, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
