Non-notable initiative that never went anywhere and isn't even used by its parent project after ten years. Talk page discussion notes lack of good third-party sources, even at the time the project was launched. Even the project press page features mostly mentions on the OpenBSD news site and not anything third-party, let alone mainstream. The redirect was turned back into an article on the basis of existence, completely ignoring notability considerations (it has no independent notability). Suggest delete or redirect to OpenBSD (nailing the redirect in place). David Gerard (talk) 19:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

• Delete and Redirect as there's particularly nothing here for a convincing notable article, let alone close to substance, and linking to the other article suffices afterwards. SwisterTwister talk 19:45, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
