[edit] LAuS

Article about the linux audit subsystem. Has now been tagged with {{importance}} for a few months. I am nominating it for deletion because, well, because today is the day where the cleanup backlog focuses on entries starting with L. There are numerous problems with the article but mostly it is not understandable for the layman and it fails the WP is not an instruction manual policy. Frankly, I don't think it can be salvaged. Possibly redirect to Linux or some more relevant Linux article. Pascal.Tesson 00:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

While I'm at it, I am adding the following in this AfD for the very same reasons:

• LC ALL

There are certainly many pages like this which one could handle similarly. I'll try to find some in the backlog in the next few minutes but I suppose that once the discussion here starts it is too late to add pages in it. Pascal.Tesson 00:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Obviously strong keep If we're deleting things that exist within Linux and other computer systems as parts of them, are we going to go after articles of other "niche" scientific interest that laymen can't likely understand such as Quantum field theory, Schrödinger equation, Planck length, or 1 E-12 m? rootology (T) 23:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Peyna. And "but X exists" is no reason for keeping any article, each is judged on its merits when it gets to AFD. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:56, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
