BetaWiki:Articles for deletion

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Articles for deletion (AfD) is the place where we discuss whether an article should be deleted.

To nominate an article for deletion, add the  template to the top of the article and add a new section below this lead section explaining your rationale.

== Windows 10 build 14389 and 14321, Windows 8 build 7992 (fbl_uex_icp), Windows Vista build 5089, 5353 and 5708 == There're both only one screenshot about it.And there are no links about them.I think there're PS.
 * They are not PS. But these builds was on a different source!

 * 1) I asked about this on the Discord a few months ago and no one gave me a source. As mentioned, 14321 possibly comes from a Channel 9 video (RIP channel 9) so that should be kept Xeno (talk) 12:00, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I would spare 14321 as that one seems to come from a Channel 9 video and perhaps 5089, but the rest doesn't really seem notable. -- 16:35, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) The only one that I was able to find a source for was 5708, which is this BetaArchive forum post. However, there are replies to said post which call out some of the screenshots for being fake, so 5708 might still be up for deletion. I wasn't able to find any other sources for the other builds, but like Ryuzaki said, 14321 might originate from a Channel 9 video. Jurta (talk • contribs) 08:16, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) 5708's picture is literally scribbled on with a brush in MS Paint, plus not many sources, so yep, I think I think it should be deleted. Correct me if I'm wrong. 2402:800:6105:4717:842D:B9B:F0C8:41E0 04:09, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Just because there is one unconfirmed screenshot doesn’t mean the build isn’t noteable. Orangera1n (talk | edits) 11:59, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It quite literally does. Screenshots that can't be traced back to the original source are not proper sources to make a build notable. -- 16:35, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * BetaWiki has confirmed builds, same as unconfirmed. So it didnt 100% build is leaked. Just delete 5708 -
 * "Unconfirmed" means that the build was not confirmed by official sources. Notability guidelines still apply to these. -- 14:24, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * 2) Even if they are just single screenshots, another factor that should be taken into consideration is if they match the timeframe for when they were compiled. To name a couple, 5353 appears to have been captured off a projector from a private demonstration event, which isn't unusual for these kinds of builds (e.g. 2415 of Whistler was also displayed on a projector screen). As for 5708, drawing edits aside, the JPEG artifacts and system tray icons give indication this was used by an internal tester and they simply decided to put this on their personal account(s)/website of sorts, which may or may not have any archived captures floating around. The "no notifications" marking also gives the impression this was meant to be used to report a bug in said build. Granted, even back then these could've easily been doctored in such ways to fool others, but as long as no continuity errors are visibly spotted, that opens up more room for debate whether these are legitimate or not, regardless of if sources can be traced back or not. My first suggestion to this would be to ask the users who created these articles about where they found out about these screenshots, as they'd probably still know. If they don't seem to recall, then that would put the builds more into questioning territory. --Blue Horizon (talk) 23:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

OS/2 Warp 5
Deleted on 11 May 2022. BF10 (talk) 22:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

This version is probably a fake and there's no source I can find to back up that this version was under development at the time. Not even sources like OS/2 Museum lists information regarding this "version". The closest I could find to information regarding to this version is this, which needless to say is fan rumors. Other sources regarding to Warp 5 refers it simply as eComStation or ArcaOS. Safe to say that this version is very likely a fake, and if it isn't, then there's no source I could find that can back it up as real. BF10 (talk) 03:45, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

 * 3) Sources that I could find that mention OS/2 Warp 5 are just speculation and don't really prove its authenticity, I doubt IBM ever started development on this version. Jurta (talk • contribs) 08:20, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Warp 5 just feels out of place in the timeline for having a scheduled release at a time when Windows was cornering the entire operating system market share, which had been widely the case ever since Windows 95 made a big splash in the technology scene. By 2005 when Windows Vista's final branding was announced and Windows XP was closing in on its peak in usage next year, most people saw OS/2 as a relic of the past, and it probably didn't make sense to IBM to release, let alone create a new version since they know it would only be a small niche of users interested in it. --Blue Horizon (talk) 23:09, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) I can still found some links about this version and i founded a crazy thing of the OS/2 Warp 5. (lol) link 2001:f90:40c0:a072:a1f9:79d4:a984:4029 13:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC+08:00)

Windows 10 build 10240.16425
This page was already QD'd although it doesn't really meet the criteria for that in my view. Either way it's still only an updated version of the RTM, so I don't think it actually belongs here. -- 08:49, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * 3) While I stand corrected in the update situation, it's still a non-noteworthy build. Xeno (talk) 09:22, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
