Elementary OS

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Hasn't received any media coverage, distro still under construction. Non-notable. —Magic.Wiki (talk) 18:08, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There is other software on Wikipedia that has not been released, and you can get it just not in a single installer. --Spazturtle (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Replied at Talk:Elementary OS. —Magic.Wiki (talk) 18:33, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete No sources, so a good article can't be made. Maybe after it's released and generates buzz it can be recreated. Ancemy (talk) 23:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep www.distrowatch.com have added it to the list of distros to be added --Spazturtle (talk) 12:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * They add every distro that announces itself (read their FAQ), but all distributions aren't notable. What I fail to find are reviews of this distribution in notable magazines and websites, not surprising as the distro is under construction. —Magic.Wiki (talk) 13:14, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to list of ubuntu-based distros - Improve the article or it will get deleted. Give me a reason why this is notable in any way (I don't care about wikilaw, just explain why this is not "just another distro") and I might change my vote. SF007 (talk) 20:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This distro uses a new custom kernal and nautilus navigation system, version 2.0 will have a custom GUI as well. Oh and distros like 'Super' Ubuntu are also "just another distro" --Spazturtle (talk) 13:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I did not said this was "just another distro", I just asked for a reason to keep. I don't like to delete articles, so I voted neutral. I would like to vote "weak keep", but the article is very small and the distro does not have much references. Anyway, I changed my vote to redirect, because I don't like deletions. Regarding Super Ubuntu, probably it is not much better than Ubuntu, I agree, but at least is a bit more useful than "pure Ubuntu". In case you did not noticed, I am not against the article (or the distro), au contraire... SF007 (talk) 16:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - not notable and I found no third party reliable sources. 16x9 (talk) 23:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable. --Chealer (talk) 16:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
