Cinux

 * – ( View AfD View log )

no indication of WP:notability. New linux distribution still in early development. No independent sources. Disputed prod. noq (talk) 17:55, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Even though there is no indication of WP:notability and even though Cinux is a new linux distribution still in early development, there is no reason why this article should be deleted. There are several entries around the internet, in different forums from people asking what Cinux is. It would be better if there was an article on Wikipedia than answeres around the internet without any liability. If you think this is a poor article, check out Bodhi's Linux article. This one has more information in it. conmarapgr (conmarapgr) 20:03, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete The substantial coverage I did manage to find were from either their website (cinux.codeplex.com), SourceForge (a download for Cinux), the Cinux Wikia (cinux.wikia.com), their Twitter account (twitter.com/CinuxLinux), Launchpad (launchpad.net/cinux), and osarena.net. None of these appear to have substantial coverage that supports notability per WP:NSOFT (though that's an essay; WP:NWEB can still apply here per footnote #1). No coverage of this "Cinux" in Google News + GNews archives, nor Google Books.  HurricaneFan 25  —  18:08, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Re to Conmarapgr: Forums aren't reliable sources; nor are they convincing when taken into note for notability, per WP:SPS.  HurricaneFan 25  —  18:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

That is what I said. Forums are not reliable. That's why I chose Wikipedia to publish an article. The codeplex page you found is not affiliated with the project, the launchpad is and states that clearly. OSArena.net on the other hand has it's own section (OSArena->OSArena Projects->Cinux). There is a list of several articles that state the affiliation of the project. Google News does not contain news about Cinux but, the project was published on a Greek Magazine called Linux Inside and the owner has written an article twice for the magazine, check it out. conmarapgr (conmarapgr) 20:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - While your thoughts are appreciated, you appear to misunderstand Wikipedia policy. In particular, the statement that you chose Wikipedia to publish an article because of the unreliability of forums shows this. Please see No original research. It says, among other things, that "Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source."

 * Delete No indication of notabilty (also by page authors own admission). Nor could I find anything beyond the usual downlaod sites. Wikipedia isn't your free web-space, advertising space, or somewhere to establish the notability of your creation. Pit-yacker (talk) 02:51, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Userify: the article is longer then a stub, so it may be saved to the author's user space to be restored via WP:Requested Move if ever becomes notable. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:43, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
