Delete - not sure why someone ever thought it would be independently notable. At best, a quick mention in the OpenStack article might be worth it, but there is none. Amused that the article says it should not be confused with the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (which presumably is the commercially-supported version?) but never explains how they differ.

Keep - Poor or confusing article is not the basis for notability. "Reliable Source" availability is?

Re No references added: No surprise; No or slow editing is status quo for such articles. Did anyone else follow the "find sources" links at the tags (see below)?
Re "...mention in the OpenStack article might be worth it, but there is none." False? Is this not a mention there? In 2012, Red Hat announced a preview of their OpenStack distribution,[29] beginning with the "Essex" release. After another preview release, Red Hat introduced commercial support for OpenStack with the "Grizzly" release, in July 2013.[30] Year 2013 aligns in both articles. Yes, there may be confusion between "community-supported" and commercial versions, but the connection looks clear enough, and is not a reason for deletion, IMO.
This source[1] from that OpenStack article excerpt may parrot the press release source, but it is independent recognition and coverage, if brief.
Another source[2] has significant coverage of RDO OpenStack in context of a person and another project, TryStack.
Coverage in apparently independent books (2 at least)[3][4]
Several citations in publications at Google Scholar[5]
Seems like more than enough, if someone wanted to expand the article. -- Yae4 (talk) 17:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to OpenStack#Distributions. The current contents of the article aren't really worth merging, but Yae4's sources suggest our coverage might grow. — Charles Stewart (talk) 12:04, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
