Delete - even though it has lots of results on google doesn't mean it is encyclopedic, after all, many of them might just be mirrors of other sites. --'The'ChampionMan1234 07:27, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I found no usable sources online and the LWN.net's note in the article's references is too short. Common sense tells me that if this distribution saw two releases, no mention in specialized media and is discontinued long ago, it was never notable. — Dmitrij D.

Keep: I created this, so i would vote to keep it, but I think this needs a page, so its not forgotten. A graphical OS running from 1 floppy is pretty amazing. Theres no reason to delete it, just leave it. --Francis2795 (talk) 20:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So you attempt to claim historical significance this way? Even if this claim made sense, prior art exists: MinuetOS (this is the first floppy-based graphical OS that came to mind, though I'm pretty sure that much more prior art exist from the earlier periods). — Dmitrij D.

Delete I declined to speedily delete this because A7 doesn't apply to operating systems, but I don't see any sources which indicate notability. There aren't many Google hits, what hits there are are mostly download sites and forums, and in the case of software it's unlikely there are any offline sources.

Reluctant delete Much as it seems a pretty cool technical feat (although practically useless: can't remember the last PC I saw with a floppy drive), I can't find any reliable sources per WP:GNG. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:09, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
