[edit] Myah OS

Myah OS (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Entirely non-notable Linux distro - the creator has extensively edited the article and he states (in regards to sources) "Well the info that someone asked to be cited is information that is not on any site. It is information right out of my head. If you want to create a website someone else and cite this information there then cite that information back to this site be my guest." and that "Like I have tried to say several times there is not any real documentation on Myah OS since it is so small".

  • Delete In trying to re-write and source this article, I have found that while this looks like a nifty little Linux distro, it has scant evidence of any user base and is noted mostly routinely on websites which list Linux distros, which is why the name gets so many Google hits. Historically, the OS's developer has been trying to use the article as a promotional tool. When one skives off the unsourced content, nothing much is left. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Tried to clean up, but despite many sources, few if any are reliable. The maintainer of the project, User talk:Jeremiah Cheatham, also has numerous civility problems that make it hard to accomplish much. -Mask? 23:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - I don't doubt that there is information to be found about Myah OS. The thing is: it's not notable. Mere existence (as well as mention on Linux distro-watch websites) does not establish notability. --clpo13(talk) 08:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are few -if any- reliable independent sources. The author claims to have written some of the sources that have been used for the article, and the author doesn't want those sources used. Dan Beale-Cocks 10:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete As above, no notability. I'm afraid the author of this distro mis-understood the purpose of Wikipedia - it's not a place to showcase personal projects. Even once/if the distro gains some notability, it would be much better to avoid WP:COI and WP:OWN problems and let others write the article about it. --Minimaki (talk) 11:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable, This smacks of promotion. (1 == 2)Until 16:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete — not notable, a head-ache to maintain due to harassment by the creator. --Haemo (talk) 07:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
