Booting process of Windows NT Setup before Vista

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

While there are some references, they are pretty poor - manuals and passing mentions, and the article's style is not very encyclopedic - this reads more like a how-to guide (obsolete at that). This topic has a very dubious notability. Perhaps some redirect/merger with Booting process of Windows NT might help both but... the connection here is not clear (redirect?). PS. Last year there was an AfD for this where there were promises of improvement and that WP:THEREMAYBESOURCES. Nothing has improved since, and the cited sources are how-to manuals - those are very poor indicators of notability.

 * Delete, still a WP:NOTHOWTO article, lacks (to use an analogy) "out-of-universe" information, history, evolution, ... It just describes the process from inside. Fram (talk) 13:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete for all the reasons above. microbiology Marcus [petri dish·growths] 15:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
