F11

Delete The F11 function key does not worth as a separate article. Information here is not that important: why only compare web browsers?! However, if needed, these can be merged back to the browsers' article page, e.g. Criticisms of Mozilla Firefox. --Minghong 18:49, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete Non-enyclopedic, certainly doesn't merit its own article. BTfromLA 19:54, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This article is discriminatory against those who support the F3 key. ;-) 23skidoo 21:15, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Alt-F4 it. errr, Delete. Tygar 01:54, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Creator needs to keep in mind that any function key can be assigned to perform any function in any piece of software; that's why it's called a function key. Bearcat 04:00, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. We don't need separate articles for keys on keyboards. — JIP | Talk 07:43, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Shift-Delete. Are you sure you want to delete 'F11'? Click Yes. --Plek 11:38, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Ryan! | Talk 11:43, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Ctrl-Alt-(Nose on F11 Key)-Delete. --BM 14:15, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Function key and redirect The Function key article should be exbanded with standard uses of function keys. F3 currently only talks about a hentai film and F1 is unsurprisingly a redirect to Formula One, and I'd think both F1 and F3 are more widely used than F11. Certainly future potential for an independent encyclopediac article, but I think until the other function keys catch up, we should merge.--cfp 18:35, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Should have better naming then, e.g. "F1 (function key)". F* is just a too common name, e.g. "F4" refers to a group of artist in Taiwan [1]. --Minghong 20:40, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah eventually, but for now they'd all be better off in the Function Key article I think. --cfp 23:41, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. since a good article about F11 cant be written RustyCale 22:38, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• As a Mac OS user, I'd first press Command-Delete to move it to the trash folder (wait, it's alreay here...), then press Command-Shift-Delete to finally get rid of it. Besides, F11 on a Mac (by default, anyways) does something completely different... kelvSYC 03:44, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep or merge keys found on tens of millions of PCs. Expand to cover usage in different applications, and what Mac F11 keys do. Kappa 09:47, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Function key -SCEhardt 21:07, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep there _must_ be separate articles for keyboard keys. Grue 16:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
