MinWin

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

CSD A1 - no context to justify an encyclopedia article. This stub could be merged into the main Windows 7 article without any detriment at all to the Wikipedia Project. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Windows 7: The subject is too dependant on Windows 7 to merit a seperate article. Don't delete it, as it does have context. Josh (talk | contribs) 21:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Architecture of Windows NT. If different Windows kernels don't merit articles, I think it should be included in the broader article. And the information should be included in Windows 7, as well. Althepal (talk) 21:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: We don't really know how MinWin fits into the architecture. Josh (talk | contribs) 21:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect. By the test of notability, the subject of the article is deserving enough to warrants its own article (there has been plenty of coverage in reliable, third party sources). As for importance, no doubt it is important - it is going to be the kernel of Microsoft Windows, Windows 7 onwards. The only concern here is available information. As it stands now, its barely more than a dicdef. But more info will come as it nears release. So, for now, keep this page as a redirect and merge into Windows 7 (in a separate section). Once information is publicized, it can be spun back out. The technical scope of this subject is to deep to be kept buried inside another article forever. --soum talk 05:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. As soum said, this is the next generation kernel for Windows. The article will develop. Nova SS (talk) 15:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps you're right. I mean, it has just about as much right to be an article as Windows 7 does, right? Althepal (talk) 18:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Like soum said, the merge can be undone when MinWin information not relating to Windows 7 appears, or when Windows 7's MinWin section gets too big. Josh (talk | contribs) 21:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Windows 7. I don't think merging with the NT article would be appropriate; I see no evidence microsoft has declared Windows 7 part of the NT family. Even though it probably has enough sources out there to be notable, considering that it is inseperable from its parent subject (as far as I can tell), there isn't a need for it to have its own article until we have tremendous amounts of verifiable info on it.
