Draft:System Requirements for MS-DOS Based Windows Versions

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Wikipedia is clearly not a how-to guide, it's an encyclopedia. This draft, while not an article, violates that rule. It is also trying to be a collection of information and a manual, which is not allowed. Pretty sure that's also for drafts, last time I checked. thetechie@wikimedia :  ~/talk/  $  22:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia requires references and this draft will never have any added by the author. Catfurball (talk) 23:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It especially won't have any references after G13 removes it from the corpus of pages accessible by the public at large. It will be beyond the author's reach by that point. —Alalch E. 09:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Already declined, nothing extraordinary that rises to the level of needing pre-G13 deletion. This isn't a BLP so sourcing does not matter for MfD purposes. Curbon7 (talk) 23:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You did not read my nomination reasons. It's violating other rules on Wikipedia, not sourcing.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  00:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That sentence was addressing the !vote above mine. Curbon7 (talk) 00:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. This same discussion was had two weeks ago, and the spirit of WP:SKEEP applies. Arguments were strongly rejected, 'no consensus' close notwithstanding. This is not an accusation that this nomination is disruptive, and I presume that the nominator didn't know about the prior MfD. Want to withdraw maybe, knowing this now?—Alalch E. 08:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep - Drafts are not checked for sanity. It needed declining or rejecting, and has been declined.  It is very seldom necessary to delete questionable drafts.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
