- Comment - Notability on Wikipedia is not measured by how many people may or may not be using a Linux distribution. As explained at WP:N it is determined by the existence of independent third party references, like magazine reviews. This is for two reasons, 1. so that an article can be actually written with some objective comment and criticism, not having to rely only on primary sources, which are naturally biased in favour of the subject and 2. to prevent Wikipedia from being used for promotional purposes, such as to advertise a new Linux distro that is only being used by a handful of people. If it is too new to have any third party reviews then WP:TOOSOON applies. As far as mentioning it on the Arch Linux or Manjaro Linux pages, without third party refs it isn't notable enough for inclusion anywhere. Also I have to ask, you claim above that "over 500 people are shown to be using it currenly". Where is the proof of that? - Ahunt (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, WP:TOOSOON, no third-party reliable sources can be found on Google. -- intgr [talk] 07:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The article indeed fails to establish its notability as required by WP:GNG. Moreover, it is so devoid of actual content that I think it barely escapes the A3 criteria for speedy deletion. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 10:04, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I the author request deletion. Once 3rd party sources are found, we can un-delete the page. However, after reviewing policy, I find it to be worthy of deletion. Perhaps we combine it with Manjaro Linux untill it has 3rd party sources. I recommend that this plan be executed immediately as I am the author.Smokey2022 (talk) 10:45, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete - per WP:G7, the author has now requested deletion (and all other non-SPA !voters agree). Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 12:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Why do you think it should be kept? Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 12:39, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Educational purposes. No reason not to introduce all Linux distros on Wikipedia, even if they are less popular. --Munja (talk) 13:27, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
