[edit] Install (Unix)

Install (Unix) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I don' t have a crystal ball, but I don't think this page will ever be more than the stub it is. non-encyclopedic topic. Delete Man It's So Loud In Here 23:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC) edit To clarify my point, I think one-sentence articles don't belong in wikipedia, so I nominate every one I randomly come across. I'm sure there are a million software guides that give more information on the install command. Man It's So Loud In Here 21:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The admin closed it as no consensus, but if you read the actual discussion, it's clear that I was the only one who wanted it deleted, and everybody else voted "automatically notable". See also Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(software). spazure (contribs) (review) 03:45, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and add to List of Unix programs. What can be added to make it more robust and interesting? Any "how-to" content should go to Wikibooks. Dreadstar † 18:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Having created the article I see no point in voting otherwise, but am not emotionally attached to Unix utilities either. But Man It's So Loud In Here et al., please do whatever you feel would make Wikipedia complete and informative, whether that implies deleting all unix utils or just a couple here and there.

  • Keep Wiki is open-source, linux is open source, why not support it ??????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.97.182.82 (talk) 04:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, Unix commands should be covered. JIP | Talk 10:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
    But do they each deserve an article or should they all be covered in one article? If the second is the case, is AfD the wrong route to take? Man It's So Loud In Here 19:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. A single sentence article is never going to satisfy WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. I know Linux is important, but this article has no context or meaning outside a discussion about the operating system itself. A single word cannot inherit notability, no matter how much esteem the Linux community can hold to it. --Gavin Collins 10:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
