OSUNIX

 * Redirect to OpenSolaris. I remember reading about OSUNIX some years (it had a website that looked like an anime fanzine rather than an OS website) ago but it never got off the ground. I'm surprised to read that it had support from Software in the Public Interest, but that alone does not confer notability. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 16:44, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Frankly for a even a redirect to be worthwhile, it would need WP:SECONDARY sources (for citation) in the target article, which should actually be Illumos. OSUNIX seems to have been is a typical FOSS spat—a fork threat that didn't even materialize. D'Amore blogged about it in response  (as he was the main target of the OSUNIX folks' criticism), but no independent sources seem to have covered the incident so it's not only non notable but would probably be even be WP:UNDUE to mention it just from those primary sources. (How many email/blog spats have involved Linus? Do they all go into the article on Linux?) Looking at  it seems all that ever happened with OSUNIX was a one-man version 0.0.1 in 2009 followed by someone using the list for a tantrum in 2011.
