This image fails to comply with WP:NFCC#8. It does not help increase the understanding of reader of the article in any way, it is not discussed in the article and unlike what the use rationale asserts, it is not (and cannot be used) for identification purpose. DOS is that way. Codename Lisa (talk) 10:00, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'm just not seeing it, I believe it can be used for identification, and that does add to the understanding of the article. It helps associate MS-DOS with something that someone may have seen in a dusty corner of a computer room. I think that's good enough to be significant.

- And maybe not just in a dusty corner — see image description page. — Keφr 09:43, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, there is a free image already uploaded to Wikipedia that does a far better job of identifying MS-DOS: File:StartingMsdos.png. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 05:55, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
