Article does not meet WP:GNG, no WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and in depth. Sources in the article are to a Programming reference for Windows Driver Kit, s discussion forum, Reddit, and Wikipedia. BEFORE showed nothing that contains SIGCOV. The article is about a technical detail, article sources and BEFORE show this; artoc;e is not about an encyclopedic topic WP:NOTEVERYTHING.   //  Timothy ::  talk  23:12, 4 November 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, or redirect to book type as a related concept (maybe a sentence could be added there). This is indeed some seriously crap sourcing, and I can't find anything to improve it with. Book type doesn't sparkle in that regard, but there are solid sources available for that ( [1]) even if they are not used. In contrast, all I can find for "layer type" is lots of dual- vs single-layer disc topics. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 21:16, 5 November 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as failing GNG. I'm not sure if redirecting to book type is even feasible without non-questionable sources to support any info inserted there. This looks like something more suited for a glossary of DVD/optical disc terms (but we don't have one). ~  KN2731 { talk · contribs} 10:43, 11 November 2020 (UTC) reply
