Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. Nomination for speedy deletion under G11 was declined by @Ks0stm:. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 17:49, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. G11 wasn't the right fit, but clear case of WP:NOTHOWTO. Could potentially be an includible topic, but would probably be best to blow it up and start over the way the article is written right now. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 17:59, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a majority of the article is copied directly, word for word from the "references" below, which are not properly cited in the article itself. This seems to be a string of what looks like maybe a class project of some sort today... also reads like a How-to article Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 18:36, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Loop testing - deleted twice for copyvio.
Defect severity - deleted for copyvio.
Configuration Testing - currently up for SD for copyvio.
Context Driven Testing - deleted for WP:Promo but I believe it also had copyvios but I can't see the deleted version to verify.

And another one:

Delete I'd say merge to Installation testing but so much of the content is copyvio that we would be better off to blow this new article up and just rewrite Installation testing with more detail. Meters (talk) 18:47, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And with sourcing, of course. Meters (talk) 18:51, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
