No in-depth coverage in reliable sources beside reviews and passing mentions. Existing sources seem rather specialized and non-reliable. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:01, 20 December 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Ineligible for soft deletion.

 * Weak Redirect (over deletion): It is not listed at Comparison of Linux distributions or Light-weight Linux distribution despite those pages being in its See Also section. It is listed in Template:Linux_distributions but differs significantly from the other bluelinks in "Other derivatives:" in that its maximum version was 0.7.5, it had a lifespan of what looks to be under two years and appears to have no significant coverage/impact. It is listed at List of Linux distributions and Knoppix. It shouldn't remain as an article or in the template, and doesn't need to remain in the List article given the Knoppix family tree indicates that the practice is not to list non-notable derivatives. It should, however, remain at Knoppix given what else is there, so redirect is slightly preferred over deletion and relying on search. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 03:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I closed this as a redirect not needing a relist to determine target consensus. or admin action to enable it. However, Champion thinks a relist would be better for more eyeballs here v. Talk so I have happily relisted for that discussion to happen. Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Redirect tp Light-weight Linux distribution this version of Linux hasn't been updated in a long time but you never know when something might get resurrected.  Dr vulpes  (Talk) 14:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not sure if it's worth listing there because every distribution mentioned in that article has an article of its own. Needlessly populating it with random distributions would result in unnecessary listcruft. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:34, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Knoppix: that, I believe, is the closest living relative. Owen&times; &#9742;  22:46, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Another derivative also listed at that table was closed as delete recently, I don't see how this one should be any different. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Knoppix. The other proposed redirect targets are to lists that require each entry to have a standalone article, which this would then fail and so would be removed from those lists making them non-viable targets for redirection. The article's subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT, but that looks like a viable AtD. I think deletion is also reasonable, however. - Aoidh (talk) 23:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
