File grooming

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have a strong feeling this is WP:MADEUP. Of course, the practice of rearranging files exists, but I've never heard anyone call it "file grooming" and a web search turned up very little. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 18:14, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. The are a couple of web sources out there giving this def (though they might have copied it from Wikipedia) but others use it with a different meaning or yet another one   or yet another one  (ok, this might be a generalization of the previous one). Anyway, the sources that use the meaning given in this Wikipedia article  don't go beyond WP:DICTDEF, so it's hard to see how this page is justified; the same actually applies for the alternative meanings I found. After deletion, it might make sense to redirect to hierarchical storage management, because most RS seem to use it in that context.

 * By the way, I've created File grooming (disambiguation) with the definitions I've actually found in reliable sources, although I do feel this is a bit of a cheat because those articles linked don't yet cover either topic. I suggest moving that dab to the present title once (i.e. without "disambiguation" in it) after the AfD completes. Someone not using his real name (talk) 02:47, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
 * After more googling, I can't find any other sources besides the documentation for that Novell product to use with the 2nd meaning so probably it should just redirect to hierarchical storage management (which is unfortunately a disaster zone right now).
