WP:NOT a UNIX guide. No indication that there is anything special about this command deserving of an encyclopedia article. eaolson (talk) 23:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * delete - at best a dict-def, but more likely NN. WegianWarrior (talk) 09:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * delete - per WP:NOT, WP:N, and WP:V. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Process (computing) or Unix shell. Doesn't need its own article, but should be mentioned somewhere. Lack of sources is a red herring, as it's well known to people in the field, and easily verifiable. --Hans Adler (talk) 11:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:Hans Adler's merge idea. It's a bit short to be worth its own article, but we should be able to fit it in somewhere in our Unix coverage. -- tiny plastic Grey Knight   &#x2296;  12:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge The topic has great notability as a simple search demonstrates. It might be covered better in some more general article but this article would then be retained as a redirect as the current title is a plausible search term.  Deletion would not help our readership.

 * Comment A number of the results are simply mirrors of its man page. « D. Trebbien ( talk ) 19:37 2008 June 17 (UTC)
 * Merge per User:Hans Adler. This software command should be included in something relating to Unix. Truthanado (talk) 23:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. On its own this is not ever going to become an encylopedia article and Wikipedia is not a directory. I am not pursuaded by the merge suggestions; perhaps it could be addressed somewhere but exactly where to do this has not been made clear at all. The merge suggestions are vague except for the first one by Hans Adler: This seems way to granular to be merged into Process (computing), and unless I am missing something, Unix shell does not discuss built-in commands and I don't see a logical place in that article to put it. I considered List of Unix utilities as a merger destination, but that list is presently limited to utilities as specified by IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 and it's not clear that this is one. Even if it is, it can be added there if and when someone provides a reference for it. Accurizer (talk) 11:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
