[edit] Gnu distribution

Gnu distribution (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

POV fork of Linux distribution / GNU variants. Contested prod. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Deleteper nom. --Kristjan Wager (talk) 10:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as misnamed. Arguably, GNU distribution could be a redirect to Linux distribution, or even more arguably that could be moved to GNU/Linux distribution and both could redirect there. I really don't know or care enough about the history of that particular controversy to give a view. I do know however that an article entitled Gnu distribution should either be about the distribution of Gnus (they're migratory so it varies with the time of year, but I doubt a separate article is justified) or about a hitherto unknown probability distribution first described by Dr. Gnu (the mathematician and friend of Flanders and Swann, gnot to be confused with Dr. No or Dr. Who).

  • Delete per submitter comments. ~~ [Jam][talk] 12:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom. I think this information should be included in an appropriate article (if possible). But as a standalone article, absolutely worthless. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 12:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Qwfp's humorous but accurate rationale. I wouldn't object to moving it to GNU distribution, then redirecting to Linux distribution, but that seems a little excessive just to maintain a POV fork's history. Hersfold (t/a/c) 14:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as per nom. This is the second time Chris and I agree. --mms (talk) 01:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
