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 95 build 21i
I think that the Windows 95 build 21i page should be deleted, as the screenshot is only a photoshop and not a real modified build. ToMi (talk | contribs) 15:43, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I think build 26 should be removed too, because its in a similar vein to build 21i. BenjiMadden7850 (talk) 16:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The guidelines make no distinction between fake builds and fake screenshots, so this argument is pointless. Furthermore, we'd have to delete all the other fake screenshot articles too, which would make the fake tag rather useless (as there's very few actual fake builds as opposed to just screenshots). Overdoze (talk) 09:40, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The guidelines also require that the fake build has the potential to confuse people about its legitimacy. The page had 300 hits in June for whatever reason, it's within the top 10% visited pages on the wiki, so it definitely meets that requirement. -- Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 09:58, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Windows 8 builds 7914, 7916, 7920 and 7926
I think these four pages should be deleted, as these four builds are known only from file versions and buildlists, both of them untrustworthy. BenjiMadden7850 (talk) 15:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted. Didn't delete the screenshots themselves, as I think they are worth keeping for the while. -- Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 08:52, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Windows 8 build 7962
I think that this page should be deleted because that's just 7963, which is already leaked. Applegame12345i (talk)
 * i moved the fbl srv wdmacxml page to make it just windows 8 build 7962. BenjiMadden7850 (talk) 08:54, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Windows 8 builds 8514 and 8516
These two pages are very similar to these four: 7914, 7916, 7920 and 7926, because these two are file versions and a WinJS string. So it should be deleted because its not notable anymore. BenjiMadden7850 (talk) 07:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * But files in 7914, 7916, 7920 and 7926 are not confirmed, while files in 8514 and 8526 are confirmed and can prove these builds exist.--GT610 &#124; Sorry for my poor English! (talk) 07:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * but these are just file versions/random buildstrings from the windows store, which are absoutely USELESS! We have NO proper screenshots whatsoever of any of these builds (like most WinJS builds), which is why i put the pages up for deletion. BenjiMadden7850 (talk) 07:38, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * They certainly are not useless, they can show the progress of development at a finer level than leaked/confirmed builds. They just are not good article material. -- Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 08:50, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Native Shell
Native Shell is neither notable, nor a popular community tool. To be honest, it is out of scope for this wiki. -- Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 08:29, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't see any problem with it. The article is about useful tool and someone will want to read about it, so I don't think that it will be unused page. It is also interesting that those not notable file version build pages are standing there all the time and no one has deleted them yet, but this useful page was immediately marked for deletion because it is "out of project scope" and I don't think it is. There is ton of unused pages which are out of project scope. ToMi (talk | contribs) 08:36, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The guidelines make no provision about "useful tools". Native Shell is not a notable application, as it hasn't been covered by press. It is not by any means a popular tool that aids in researching old software either. Furthermore, the information in the article is at the very least misleading, as if the author didn't really understand what Native Shell even does and how it works. -- Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 09:00, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Windows 8 build 8331 (winmain)
The Windows 8 build 8331 (winmain) page should be deleted, as it is only WinJS buildtag and it is also based on a fake sceenshot. ToMi (talk | contribs) 08:56, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Windows Longhorn build 4048 (Lab02)
The Windows Longhorn build 4048 (Lab02) page should be deleted, as it is only a mislabel and there isn't any other source. ToMi (talk | contribs) 08:59, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
