== Merge to Xilinx ==
:''(discussing merge of [[Virtex4]])''
'''Agree to merge'''. I doubt there would ever be enough content for this article to justify standing by itself. The only alternative I can think of besides merging it directly to the Xilinx article is to make a "Xilinx family details" article which goes into as much technical detail on each family and contrasts them. This would allow the Xilinx article itself to focus more on the higher level summary without being overly long with extreme details that most readers would not understand.

== Lead too short ==
'''Don't merge''' - I think the article already has enough content to justify standing by itself. Even if it requires some cleanup. It would look silly in a section on Product Families mentioning lots of details from a single family. --[[User:Romanski|Romanski]] 16:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
==Fair use rationale for Image:Xilinx.gif==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
'''[[:Image:Xilinx.gif]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with [[WP:FU|fair use]].


The lead says nothing of the actual products that Xilinx produced or its success on the market. This contributes to the idea that its buyout from AMD made it significant, ie makes the lead biased as well. [[User:Nxavar|Nxavar]] ([[User talk:Nxavar|talk]]) 08:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Please go to [[:Image:Xilinx.gif|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.


== Lead: Xilinx as a company and brand still exists under AMD ==
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 -->


Wouldn't it be more accurate for the lead to say that Xilinx is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMD rather than that it 'was' a company? The SEC filings cited in the article and various releases from AMD indicate that Xilinx will continue to survive as a wholly owned company, having its own tax filings and product lines etc. post-merger. As far as I can tell, the brand also hasn't been retired by AMD and for the time being, at least some products are still retaining the branding. If there are no objections to this in the next few days, I'll correct this on the article.

Xilinx open its doors in 1984.  In 1978, the [[Western Design Center]] had set up shop as a fabless operation.  Based on that, Xilinx would not have pioneered the fabless model.

Why does the first paragraph sounds like something Xilinx would write about themselves?
