[edit] Rxart

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

Low-quality article on non-notable Linux distribution. Not clear if dead, since it seems there was a 3.0 release in 2006, but the website still talks about 2.0... Unreferenced, advertisement. Contains major misinformation ("Rxart was the best selling Spanish language GNU/Linux distribution in Latin America, having reached 350,000 units in 2005."). Chealer 02:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 03:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep The nominator makes some very strong arguments. However, the article is interwiki-linked to four other languages. My personal opinion, quirky though it may be, is almost never to advise deletion of any article with valid interwiki links, especially if it's a foreign item and the interwiki article is in the native language for that item.—Preceding unsigned comment added by YechielMan (talk • contribs) 04:04, 10 June 2007
  • Delete - interwikilinks don't really trump an article with blatant misinformation, unverifiable claims, and stale content. /Blaxthos 16:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, needs improvement, but there are strong claims to notability on the article, and the distribution is definately not dead[1]; if I read this correctly, the distribution is being pre-installed on PC's. John Vandenberg 08:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep while this may not be notable in the US, it does appear that this is fairly big news in latin america.Balloonman 04:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
