Loop device MAC OSX

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article looks like an OS, though it is not. But it contains some procedures and nothing else which doesn't establish notability. Also it is completely unsourced and needs wikification. →TSU ^tp* 00:00, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Andy Dingley. As a Mac user, this is mildly interesting, but the author should take it to WikiHow or some other suitable venue, though. —DoRD (talk) 03:46, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. JIP | Talk 08:20, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - at best, some of the content belongs in loop device in a MacOS X subsection. No need for a separate article. Maratrean (talk) 10:54, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: A how to guide. SL93 (talk) 15:51, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per WP:NOTHOWTO, "Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not an instruction manual, guidebook, or textbook." That's clearly what this is and it should go. Msnicki (talk) 16:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteWP:NOTHOWTO. This is what it comes across as, so should be deleted.--Chip123456 (talk) 20:29, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per everyone else; blatantly a how-to guide. Wikipedia is not the right venue. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 22:50, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
