Notability. The operating system in the article does not have sufficient notability. There is no information/sources available regarding, if any, users; neither commercial nor hobbyist. The article seems to be about a personal hobbyist project, which clearly can't have enough notability to call for a Wikipedia article. XeonMoon (talk) 13:44, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - unique in that it can run a large variety of code from different operating environments and is very compact and fast. Electron9 (talk) 15:58, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no references to reliable sources to establish notability of this software. Dialectric (talk) 02:51, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

A web seach on RDOS (ekblad) returns only web pages where the developer has been involved in some way, either as administrator of the page or as a member of discussions about tools and development of the OS. No web pages or discussions were the developer has not been somehow involved can be found. This really questions the notability. XeonMoon (talk) 21:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Blacklisted links in references - References 1 and 3 in the article page have malformed URL:s and leads to a by Wikipedia blacklisted web site ( Blacklist Talk about the blacklisting). The reason for the malformed URL:s is probably to fool the blacklisting. XeonMoon (talk) 22:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - notability not established by reliable sources. I have removed the references the blacklisted website. ukexpat (talk) 12:56, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
