Es (operating system)

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) I'd support a redirect to its most significant mention (Nintendo), as has been reverted twice. czar 23:20, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect and semi-lock as this is still questionable for its own article but may be enough to be connected to Nintendo's article. SwisterTwister   talk  22:17, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a real Nintendo research project / open source project. But it has received little to no attention in the research literature. While a literature search will find many references to an ES operating system, they appear to all be mentions of the operating system of the Soviet ES EVM mainframe series and not this Nintendo research project. Research projects that don't receive attention in the peer reviewed literature are by that fact non-notable. It has received a small quantity of press attention (no doubt drawn by the fact that the company doing the research is Nintendo – if the same project was undertaken at another company it is likely the press would have cared far less), but I don't think that is sufficient for notability. I haven't seen any evidence this research has made any particularly original contributions to operating systems research, nor have I seen any evidence that Nintendo has used the results of this research in their products.
