BackSlash Linux

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT. None of the third-party sources mention the distro, even in passing. Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable. Appears to be the author's own software. Hairhorn (talk) 02:45, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not even a single independent source (official website is a free, cu.cc domain). Fails WP:GNG. Anup   [Talk]  03:26, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Zero coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Non-notable vanity distro. No coverage whatsoever in any independent sources, reliable or otherwise. Kolbasz (talk) 10:32, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I've never used Linux, but I can tell that virtually all in the 12 pages of ghits for "BackSlash Linux" are concerned with the use of special characters in Linux as a whole. The three exceptions I can remember were this article, an official site, and sourceforge (download site). May be notable someday. Definitely doesn't look to be yet. BTW I've deleted a version of the article in Hindi under A10. Peridon (talk) 12:30, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: there is a high level of IP vandalism in this AFD, the most recent of which I've reverted. Note, though, that there was also a merge vote mixed in with the vandalism. Hairhorn (talk) 01:01, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete-No coverage at all in indepedent reliable sources except one/two.Vanity article. Aru@baska ❯❯❯  Vanguard 18:40, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as this all can be summarily placed as both an advertisement and business listing, both of which are not acceptable. SwisterTwister   talk  05:06, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
