First nomination resulted in deletion, while this article does appear to be an improvement (have not seen deleted version), none of the sources appear to be reliable since most of them are blogs and excluding that, the coverage seems to be purely local. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 09:21, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it is credible article with independent third party references, including reviews in reliable sources. Meets WP:N. - Ahunt (talk) 13:34, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: as a part of free software, many Linux distributions have low reliable sources: there are almost none paper magazines, and the news sites are mostly online blogs and third-party pages. Thus, many free software could be mistaken as not WP:N compliant, although they are. Thus, we have to consider that confounding factor when analyzing this article. In the 2nd nomination it was determined to be WP:N worthy, and I think that hasn't changed since then. I should say that seems shady that this article has been flagged 3 times already for nomination, when many other Linux distribution share the same source problem, and it has been previously confirmed as WP:N. - Richiguada (can I help you?) 14:17, 25 July 2018 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Richiguada (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

Comment: as an OS (that has no article) maintainer I'm not really comfortable with !voting but I'll instead comment: when reading the article I get the impression of a discontinued product that failed to gain ground even when it existed, that had nothing special as an Ubuntu fork, etc. On the other hand if any notability was gained it appears to be in relation to the Hack Now contest and local television exposure (I'm not sure if this meets significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject). Hmm I fail to find an entry about software at WP:N, maybe what I was trying to locate was only an essay... —Paleo Neonate – 15:17, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think you were looking for WP:NSOFT. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, thanks! —Paleo Neonate – 16:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
