Y Window System

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A student project that seems to have been abandoned shortly after its publication. Can't find any significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There's a release announcement on Slashdot, and some mere mentions of the project's existence in some academic papers, but nothing which unambiguously establishes notability.

 * Delete - there's little evidence anyone ever cared, including its creators, and I've looked. What little notice it got at the time was as a putative competitor to X existing at all - David Gerard (talk) 11:07, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing to indicate this had any significant notability beyond existing. § FreeRangeFrog croak 13:33, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable project that never caught on.  Could be merged somewhere, such as X Window System or Desktop environment, but I'm not sure it would actually be notable enough to mention. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:42, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
