Subsurface (software)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

seems to be just a synthesis of readme pages or author social media posts. Lacks independent sources. Is the topic independently notable for its own page? The creator is notable, but sources on page don't establish independent notability. Perhaps some parts could be merged into Torvalds' main page? Swil999 (talk) 09:51, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect to Linus Torvalds I agree with the nominator that there is, at this time at least, simply not enough independent coverage for an article. The best sources available are interviews with its famous co-developer. I think only very small bits should be merged into Linus's article, if any.  PJvanMill ) talk ( 22:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge with Linus Torvalds While it is possibly notable for a biography of Linus, I don't believe it is important enough to justify a full Wikipedia page (seeing as many much more notable FOSS projects don't enjoy one). RealSaddy (talk) 06:23, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
