 * Delete - as the nominator says, WP is not a how-to guide. BTW, that speedy was not improper - the version deleted in that manner was nothing but a list of external links. Lady  of  Shalott  22:18, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Will strike that word. Looking back, I could have sworn it said something different than it does now, ie "how to guide" as rationale. Dennis Brown  -  2&cent;   &copy;  22:44, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * And I was right, but it was for the redirect. See .  Apologies for the confusion.  22:46, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If the links are from WP:RS, they can be used as references for Rooting (Android OS). Scopecreep (talk) 22:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC)


 * delete I'm not against an article on rooting the Kindle. However this is unencyclopedic and shows no sign of being recoverable. It's vague, fragmentary, has no encyclopedic description of rooting and the only half-decent content it does have is too close to HOWTO. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:27, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is a infant article that has many topics however, has not much attention. If more attention was given, this article would be better off than one editor just editing the whole thing. User:Atifniyaz (talk) 22:48, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a how-to, and information regarding the rooting process of the Kindle Fire is not essential to Wikipedia's mission. It is not encyclopedic in nature. Even if the article was written according to the MoS, it should still not be considered for inclusion. Dylanstaley (talk) 22:51, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, and then redirect to Rooting (Android OS). We aren't a howto. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 00:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If this should survive as a redirect, it ought to be Kindle rooting, for capitalisation. Also how many countries have it branded as the "Kindle Fire"? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Nuke the article and redirect users to Rooting (Android OS). This is crafted as a how-to guide, and the only salvageable information here is that the Kindle can be rooted. -- NINTENDUDE 64 00:55, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I like NINTENDUDE's suggestion of redirect to Rooting (Android OS), personally. Disavian (talk) 05:35, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That would be an acceptable alternative for this one. As for the redirect Kindle Fire Rooting Guide, a delete would be more in order.   Dennis Brown  -  2&cent;   &copy;  11:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * +1 to redirct Ywarnier —Preceding undated comment added 19:18, 13 May 2012 (UTC).


 * Delete WP:HOWTO. The only workable piece is copied from Rooting (Android OS). --Kvng (talk) 16:49, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
