This seems to me to be an advertisement. It also doesn't really assert its claim for notability. It doesn't explain what it is very well, either. It's disguised effectively, and could become notable, but I don't think it is yet. I hate to suggest it, but I think it should be deleted. --Magnus Puer (sermo) 22:39, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's fair. OSMC is a popular Pi alternative to OpenELEC which seems to have its own page. It does seem notable (a quick search reveals some mentions in Wall Street Journal and on technical websites as well). Perhaps the article is not neutral, however I do feel it is relevant. According to the Vero website which seems to be an OSMC product, Raspbmc, which is now called OSMC had 200,000 regular users, at least at the time of writing. The http://openelec.tv/ website claims that they have 400,000 users. Granted that these are both sources that would benefit from inflating these numbers. However this does seem to show OSMC is notable. --User:Tim4345 (User talk:Tim4345) 01:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC).

 * Delete I see no attempt to meet WP:N. This does not seem to meet WP:GNG nor any subject-specific guideline.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  15:57, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
