[edit] 512DevOS

No evidence of notability. --W(t) 01:52, 2005 May 29 (UTC)

• Keep. Article is five days old, let's not eat our young. — Phil Welch 02:19, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - The linked site's hit counter is <1000. No Google hits. Please provide evidence of notability, if any. -- Jonel 02:41, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep allow time for the article to grow. Megan1967 04:55, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Google finds no reference to it. Article all but admits software does not exist. WP is not a crystal ball. --Xcali 05:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, the age of the article has no bearing on whether or not the subject is notable. RickK 05:52, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is still being written. Almafeta 06:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep since more info seems to be coming, allow it to grow -CunningLinguist 06:51, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Since when is the age of an article any indication that it should be kept or not? The subject is what matters, and if the subject is not notable, adding more cruft is not going to make it more so. Please vote on the basis of whether or not the subject is notable, not on "give it a chance". RickK 07:07, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable. I don't care how long the article gets, the subject is currently of no encyclopedic interest whatsoever. The board forums on the home site have only 34 posts total. The "give the article some time" votes are very discouraging. How about we give 512DevOS some time to become notable before we write it up in WP? It's currently at version 0.1.

• Agree with Quale, and delete. Radiant_* 14:30, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Dozens of such OSes are created and abandoned after short time. Until it gets longer history it is nothing notable. Pavel Vozenilek 00:36, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unencyclopedic. CDC (talk) 01:08, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I wouldnt dismiss notability out of hand. JamesBurns 06:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - it's one guy's personal project and is of no current significance. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:56, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It seems to be non-notable and is still under major construction. Kel-nage 23:03, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this not-particularly-notable, incomplete, personal project operating system. --TenOfAllTrades(talk) 23:51, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
