Unimportant Linux utility, stub with little potential fopr expansion and doesn't realy belong in WP. I suspect that "not the yellow pages" also encompasses "not a directory of Linux tools" Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 10:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with nominator, but maybe redirect to Disk image? Or is there a more appropriate destination, based on what "hdimage" does? CDC (talk) 19:01, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- One can apply the WP:CORP criteria for products and services to softwares. grep, awk, and sed satisfy the notability criteria because, for starters, there are entire published books that deal with those individual utilities specifically. In contrast, no-one has published a book about hdimage. Furthermore, searching turns up no third-party guides, FAQs, courses, tutorials, press coverage, or papers in computing journals about this tool. The criteria are not satisfied. Delete.

- Keep, notable and useful utility. Stifle 23:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete -- the website on Sourceforge doesn't explain much of anything about the program, and its primary competitors (dd and rawrite) are so entrenched that it's unlikely it will find itself in the same league as either, much less eclipse one. Haikupoet 04:17, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
