Not mentioned in target article. In addition, hardware that generates video is not exclusive to computers (which
Graphics hardware seems to be), for example,
VCRs.

Category:Video hardware is a distinct category separate from
Category:Graphics hardware, but they share the same {{
Cat main}},
Graphics hardware.
Video is an electronic medium first developed for mechanical television systems, whereas
graphics are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone – that don't necessarily make use of electronics for their creation or transmission. There has been a {{
generalize}} tag on
Graphics hardware since May 2016: "This article describes only one highly specialized aspect of its associated subject." There is a more specific article,
Computer graphics, and category,
Category:Computer graphics, of which
Category:Graphics hardware is a subcategory.
Category:Graphics hardware is also a subcategory of
Category:Video hardware. Perhaps
Category:Graphics hardware should be renamed to
Category:Computer graphics hardware as items like paint, paintbrushes, pens and pencils could be broadly construed as "graphics hardware".
Computer graphics hardware is a red link. See
Category talk:Graphics hardware; I've transcluded the relevant discussion below. –

Per third-party search engines. The concept of the term as a reference in this redirect is not exclusive to device drivers. For example, it seems that this phrase can also be used to refer to
serial numbers and
MAC addresses.

- Comment. I don't doubt that device ID has other meanings, it is such a generic term. But good chance this is what a user might be looking for, and if we don't have anything else, what is the proposal here? If other uses in Wikipedia articles can be found then it can become a dab page, but otherwise, leave it alone.

- Delete per
WP:XY, my first thought when seeing "device ID" was
Advertising ID. I could also see
serial number and
MAC address being plausible destinations too. There's also
Device fingerprint. None are perfect equivalents to "Device ID", so I think this is where we should let search take over.

- Delete as hopelessly vague, and without a plausible target article or disambiguation page. Disagree with Spark that there is a good chance readers will be looking for device drivers. An external search indicates mobile or smartphone and which is what
Serial number#Smartphones and other Smart Devices is.

Not mentioned in target; this seems to be part of the lyrics. Also is the actual name of a song by another group.

- @
MB: which group, and do they have an article?

💬 18:00, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

- I don't think so. I just googled the term and found
[1] and
[2]. Searching does indicate this, the opening line of the Fleetwood Mac song, does more often seem to be a reference to that song.

- Keep. This is helpful for a very popular song, and I would suggest the primary topic if there were ever a choice.

- Delete I'm not sure if this redirect warrants fair use. If there's a otherwise a section discussing this then this falls on RFD delete #10. --

- Keep per Shhh, and since there is no other article either for an alternate song or band related to the title per nom. A reader who knows one line of a song, would be looking for the rest of it, or its source, and not necessarily discussion around it.
