Contested prod. Non-notable Windows folder. -- Prince Kassad (talk) 06:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Completely unsourced article with no clear claim to notability. I can find no relevant Google hits other than Wikipedia and mirrors. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. No sources, pure trivia. Little could be written about this topic and I submit that it could not be extended to form a proper article. We do not have a history of having articles on directories in operating systems as a general rule, and certainly not ones that are not part of the normal user experience but are instead a detail of internal implementation.

  • Delete. If the folder name is worth mentioning at all it can be mentioned at Windows Update, it doesn't need its own page. But there's no point redirecting as this article gets the name wrong anyway – the folder in question is called $hf_mig$ not "$hfmig_s" or "$hfmig s". [1] Qwfp (talk) 10:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete We definitely don't need articles on Windows directories, particularly ones that are hidden by the system for very good reasons. Permanent sub-stub, recommend against merging or mentioning in other articles as it would be pure trivia. Hersfold (t/a/c) 13:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. ArcAngel (talk) 13:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per... well... just delete it. I'm surprised it didn't get CSD'd on sight because of the name. flaminglawyerc 03:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment It would be useful to have an article with the Windows equivalent of Filesystem Hierarchy Standard---a single, encyclopedic article listing the directories like $hfmig_s and its ilk, some of which might have noteworthy uses. Obviously we don't want an article on each such directory, just as we don't want an article on /var/spool/mail, but the general existence of these directories on millions of computers makes them noteworthy IMO.
