Init
WITHDRAWN BY NOMINATOR

Janitorial nomination following on from Articles for deletion/Ntoskrnl. "Wikipedia isn't a technical how-to or an indiscriminate collection of information; see WP:NOT." may apply here also. No vote from me at this stage. kingboyk 15:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this can be withdrawn now. There's a clear keep concensus. As I said it was a janitorial nomination to stimulate some debate and focus minds at the other AFD. I maintain that the article is something of a howto (it even uses the dreaded "you") but the tag addresses that issue. --kingboyk 21:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep: An important and somewhat visible element of Linux/Unix boot. The article still needs the clean-up, though. Peter Grey 15:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, although the article could still use some cleanup (i.e. increasing its relevance). Without Init, you wouldn't have a running system; you'd just have a kernel sitting there doing nothing.  -- E lkman - (talk) 16:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Definite keep &mdash; This is neither a technical how-to, nor an indiscriminate fact. The init daemon is a key component of UNIX. &mdash; RJH 16:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep &mdash; the article is not at all like a how-to, and the topic is notable. &mdash; A.M. 20:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, yeah. --maru (talk) contribs 20:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * technical keep,  as sufficiently relevant to be non-indiscriminate and useful to readers. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 21:18, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
