This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Please don't resubmit drafts without substantially changing any of the actual content or addressing previous declines. It wastes reviewers' time and does not increase the likelihood of the draft being accepted whatsoever.

Comment: Many issues besides notability. Please wait a few months before resubmitting; maybe then there will be some good info and this draft will have improved. If this draft keeps being resubmitted in a short timeframe, I will have to reject it (meaning that it cannot be submitted anymore). thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment: No improvement made after last decline. Kindly address the comments and then resubmit. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 10:38, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Currently there doesn't seem to be enough information about WS2025 publicly available (besides the trial versions) to form a good article, maybe in a few months... Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk / contribs)} 02:44, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Windows Server 2025 is an upcoming version of Windows Server that is similar in design to Windows 11.^[1] The first build of Windows Server 2025, build 26040, was released on Windows Insider on January 26, 2024,^[2] with the preview expiring on September 15, 2024.^[3]

Microsoft announced that the sudo command feature would be available for the Windows Server 2025; however, with the release of Windows 11 build 26052, it later confirmed that the feature would be available exclusively on Windows 11. Nevertheless, some users found sudo command traces on the preview. Microsoft stated that it was added by accident and would be disabled in future releases.^[4]
