WP:NOTGUIDE and no indication of warranting a separate article. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they {{pipe}} talk) 03:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

: Sorry, I don’t see at all how this article would sound like a guide. Please elaborate. It is also not a simple list article but full of explanations about the genesis of these widely used named RGB colors. — Christoph Päper 07:27, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep. I don't read WP:NOTGUIDE as relevant since the article is not much more instructional than, say, Web colors. At worst the article does not satisfy {{tpq|a Wikipedia article should not be presented on the assumption that the reader is well-versed in the topic's field}}, but that's an argument for rewriting rather than deleting.

:The lead section needs to be cleaned up, and perhaps the whole thing needs to be restructured, but the subject easily passes WP:GNG and I don't see it failing WP:NOTDB or any other part of WP:NOT. --Richard Yin (talk) 09:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is one of my favorite articles, compared to Web colors, it is much easier to understand. 🐢 (talk) 06:50, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. I agree with Richard Yin's reasoning above. A potential improvement to the article would be reworking the lead so that what makes the X11 colors relevant is presented more explicitly. Duplode (talk) 16:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. A useful, inormative, article. It doesn't read like a guide. Maproom (talk) 20:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
