Unsourced, WP:OR and non-notable article. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 09:22, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect into Heads-up display, as this can still cover this particular subject matter in the parent article. Keep, Technology that has been around and used for over 50 years. Plenty of academic sources with rich information on the subject. I have taken one of these books and added a history section, appropriately sourced and can see there is alot of potential for improvement. Bizarre to suggest it isn't notable! How much research was done before starting the AfD? Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you sure you aren't just adding information that is already in Heads-up display? This article is talking about a separate thing entirely, a non notable minor software element, not the idea of a HUD in general._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:50, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair comment, though it seems to be more focussed on HUD from a computational angle (cars have built in computers, programs etc). In saying that, whether a dedicated article is needed is debatable. I am for "keeping" the information it holds, though maybe there could be a "merge and redirect" until such a time that someone can collate enough info to justify a separate article. I'll change my vote accordingly. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:46, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
