Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IQRL is less or equal


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete. Wiki you now, Wiki you later!, I've posted the deleted material to your talk page in a collapsed format since there wasn't much to the article in the first place. You can try to work it in elsewhere, but I'd highly recommend that you go through WP:COMPUTER and WikiProject Internet to ensure that all of the information is correct first. Computer teachers are not infallible and it is entirely possible that he was incorrect or that you misunderstood what he was saying. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

IQRL is less or equal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Factually incorrect, unreferenced. The error message exists but has nothing to do with the purported causes and effects given in this article. For comparison, see Microsoft's error description. Prodded for that reason, de-prodded by the author because they supposedly "learned all of this information in [their] computer maintenance class".

If this error message is notable enough for an encyclopedia article, which I currently doubt, it would be easier to write a new one from scratch; no part of the current content is salvageable. Huon (talk) 17:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as nomination, particularly as it presents incorrect information, and also as WP:NOTHOWTO - Arjayay (talk) 17:53, 28 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Don't delete. This is getting annoying-please stop. I did check the website, and was surprised to see that the explanation of this error was completely different than what I learned in my computer maintenance class. However, that doesn't mean that what I have written is factually incorrect or is a hoax, it just means that there are multiple ways of explaining the same thing. My question would be, who should we go by: the author of the Microsoft website, or the teacher of my computer maintenance class who is a professional IT expert? Wiki you now, Wiki you later!

 * Wikipedia follows the published sources; see WP:Verifiability. Such as, say, this book which explains that IRQL (IQRL is a misspelling) is not "the main control center of the computer or device" but rather the Interrupt Request Level, a number used to determine the order in which the processor reacts to interrupts. It's not a piece of hardware, there is no "amount of data stored on the IRQL", and hard drives are at best of peripheral relevance to the error - certainly not because "the amount of data stored on the IRQL must be greater than the amount of data storage on the internal hard drive". Regarding claims such as "it only happens to 1 person in America every 3 years" I rather doubt you can explain how one would even assemble such a statistic which would mean that this effect occured to about five persons in America, ever (ignoring the fact that the amount of computers running Windows hasn't been constant over those 15 years or so since Windows 2000 was introduced).

 * So basically what you are saying is that we can't go by what I learned in my maintenance class, even if it was right? I am now concerned that my teacher was teaching us incorrect information, but that's not the point here. I still object to the deletion because I don't have whatever book you are talking about, and I didn't know that the other website even existed. Given these factors, I had to write based on what I learned, and I don't think that anyone would know that the teacher was incorrect. Perhaps someone (other than me, because obviously I've been taught a hoax) could merge this content into the Blue screen of death article? As I said, this is one of the most common causes of a blue screen and really should be included. Wiki you now, Wiki you later! (talk) 23:19, 28 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as duplicate of existing topic. "IQRL (sic) is less or equal" is simply the error name and does not have notability on its own. The articles (already proposed to merge) Interrupt request (PC architecture) and IRQL (Windows) should be merged and improved; editor can add the information there. I'm not sure what means about above about "I had to write based on what I learned" - nobody has to write anything on Wikipedia.  —Мандичка YO 😜 00:10, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
