[edit] Init

WITHDRAWN BY NOMINATOR

Janitorial nomination following on from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ntoskrnl. "Wikipedia isn't a technical how-to or an indiscriminate collection of information; see WP:NOT." may apply here also. No vote from me at this stage. kingboyk 15:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I think this can be withdrawn now. There's a clear keep concensus. As I said it was a janitorial nomination to stimulate some debate and focus minds at the other AFD. I maintain that the article is something of a howto (it even uses the dreaded "you") but the {{tone}} tag addresses that issue. --kingboyk 21:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep: An important and somewhat visible element of Linux/Unix boot. The article still needs the clean-up, though. Peter Grey 15:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, although the article could still use some cleanup (i.e. increasing its relevance). Without Init, you wouldn't have a running system; you'd just have a kernel sitting there doing nothing. --Elkman - ^(talk) 16:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Definite keep — This is neither a technical how-to, nor an indiscriminate fact. The init daemon is a key component of UNIX. — RJH 16:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep — the article is not at all like a how-to, and the topic is notable. — A.M. 20:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, yeah. --maru (talk) contribs 20:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• technical keep, as sufficiently relevant to be non-indiscriminate and useful to readers. — Adrian Lamo ·· 21:18, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
