Fails WP:DICDEF. Most content is WP:OR or about a Western Digital product, and all current sources are from Western Digital manuals. I'm not fully convinced that it either meets or fails WP:GNG; the closest I could find to an encyclopedic RS is [1], which is a dictionary entry.

MarcZ (talk · contribs) suggested in June 2009 that this page be merged to Spin-up because there are few links and it is only a feature of spin-up, but that article is also nominated for deletion. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 08:36, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Essentially a WP:DICDEF and nothing pertinent to merge. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:33, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete3. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and this is just a dictionary definition. Jacona (talk) 13:31, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete some minor content might merit a brief mention in "Hard disk drive" but otherwise WP:DICDEF and inadequate sources sources for WP:GNG. --mikeu ^talk 00:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
