Niche Linux distribution. AfD in 2007 makes PROD not valid, so here we go. My rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete, no significant independent coverage located on a search. 2007 really was a different time, wasn't it? Look at those "keep" comments. Anarchy. 07:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, agree, this seems to have been a maybe one person project from around 2005. Sixteen years later it never met notability levels. I added half a sentence of prose to the
Damn Small Linux article cited to two sources from this one, which is probably all it mwerits: a quick mention in another article.

- @ W Nowicki In this case, maybe a redirect to the DSL article? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:23, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- That would be fine too, considering this as using the merge process instead of a pure delete. As I recall one reason for not doing an redirect (without protection at least) would be to avoid someone with an agenda from expanding it into an article again, but that is probably not going to happen since this one is so far in the past. On the other hand, the redirect would not serve much use, since a search would turn up the mention anyway. W Nowicki ( talk) 20:46, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
