The result was no consensus. There is clearly no consensus to delete. There are numerous options for improvement/merger/renaming/restructure and AfD is not cleanup. (non-admin closure) Andrew🐉(talk) 11:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Provides no additional value over the corresponding section in MacBook Air, except for the brief section "Reception"; however, the "Reception" headline is in use within MacBook Air for other models as well, i.e. may be included within the corresponding section.

comment Y'know, given my spate of articles on small town businesses, I'm surprised this is the article that winds up getting put up for deletion. Go figure.Americanfreedom (talk) 14:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Keep This article will get bigger later. To justify it further we should rename this to “MacBook Air (Apple Silicon) and make the original “MacBook Air (Intel)”. No new Intel models will ever be released. And new apple silicon chips will come out in the future. Maybe we should delete the Apple silicon section of the original.

- A discussion to split Apple silicon from the current page is in discussion at Talk:MacBook Pro. There is currently no consensus to support the split. Andibrema (talk) 14:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Keep, but rename to Apple Silicon. It wouldn't make sense to start a new article for every new processor especially if it's only a spec bump like the Mac product line has historically received. -Shivertimbers433 (talk) 00:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Keep, but change the page heirarchies. The iMac page currently has the 'master' page, and then links to smaller pages based on different architectures, with a seperate page for Intel-based Macs as opposed to PPC. A master MacBook Air page would make the most sense with general descriptions, but the specific models should be on seperate pages. I think the iMac pages should be used as a template, but currently it's just annoying to go to another page for one device Server 686 (talk) 00:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Keep and Move. I like the ideas that Shivertimbers433 and Server 686 have put forth. While I hear the counterargument about the split at MacBook Pro, the difference is that we've already made the split and I remember an overall sentiment at that discussion that an eventual split should occur so it doesn't make sense to go backwards and delete this article. We should keep this article as it is and rename it to Apple Silicon, and create a hierarchy of pages with notable models. Herbfur (Eric, He/Him) (talk) 02:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Merge with MacBook Air. Reception and reviews can go to Apple M1 -- Petri Krohn (talk) 13:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
