Cfdisk[edit]

No assertion or evidence of notability and no sources found other than manpage mirrors, which do not constitute significant third-party coverage. Ham Pastrami (talk) 16:30, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - cfdisk is a widely used tool in Linux and known to a large number of people installing and administering Linux systems. Usually part of the default installation. Article would be better with more sources, but cfdisk is notable - 146 results from google book search. --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 20:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Those books are about Linux systems, not cfdisk. It is not independently notable, so based on those results this would be a merge at best. I wonder if there is an article similar to List of Unix utilities that would be an appropriate merge target. Ham Pastrami (talk) 11:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge. cfdisk is included by default by many operating systems. There is no policy that states that a wikipedia article must have an entire book dedicated to the subject in order to have "non-trivial" coverage & multiple pages in many notable books is surely enough to satisfy WP:V. In addition to the books, cfdisk is mentioned is several news articles (none that I found were only about cfdisk, but some were on subjects as narrow as dual-booting or partitioning, rather than *nix as a whole). --Karnesky (talk) 01:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with fdisk., But consider these two paragraphs "but with a more pleasing user interface" and "One advantage of cfdisk (over fdisk for example) is, that it's possible to enlarge an Extended Partition, when there's free space after the partition. This is not directly possible with fdisk and some other partitioning software." seams like Wikipedia:Original research.--Puttyschool (talk) 05:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)--Puttyschool (talk) 08:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
