LFU

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Seems to be just another Linux variant without sources or much notability, also seems a bit spammy to me.  fetch  comms  ☛ 01:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC) I'm one of the developers of LFU. I don't think that notability is a proper criteria. This distribution is specially created for use in educational sphere in Bulgaria. In fact, it is already used in some schools, and it has some notability in Bulgaria. Please remove this proposal for deletion. Svetlisashkov (talk) 07:09, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

As for the notability - I think the distro is notable because it is the first Bulgarian Educational distribution, and it's used in various schools across Bulgaria. Not so many, but enough. It has strong (local) user base. But because it's users are just from one country, does not mean it's not notable. Which part of the article do you find spammy? And why?

 * You want sources? Just search for (NOT "LFU"- it's transliteration of the Bulgarian name).
 * Delete. No google books hits for Учи свободен с Убунту (its name in Bulgarian), and only a handful of news archive hits practically all on a forum/community-like site. If it's widely used in Bulgarian schools as claimed here, I'd expect some mainstream Bulgarian press coverage. Pcap  ping  15:51, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Since when the success of a project is defined by Google books? Also, if You look at the search results more closely, You'll find that LFU is frequently mentioned at the biggest Linux portal in Bulgaria, and actually there are hosted some of the previous versions of LFU. LFU is also available for download at one of the most popular download portals in our country . LFU is also regularly announced in one forum, dedicated to education and widely used by teachers . The project has been announced in big bulgarian site for IT news . I really don't understand what is wrong with the article for LFU. We created it for one and only purpose - to be informative. Isn't that one of the goals of every encyclopedia?
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - the article could use some in-line citations and an external link or two to an independent secondary source (even if it is in Bulgarian). Racepacket (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. We require non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications.  I'm not seeing any evidence of that in any language yet.  Blogs, download portals, and the like do not suffice.  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 18:06, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
