The result was Delete. Unfortunately, "I like it" and "I found it useful" doesn't cut it. This isn't a Linux howto guide nor a free web host, it's an encyclopedia: that means we only cover important subjects, in a neutral (non promotional) way, using reliable sources. This appears to fail on all 3 counts. kingboyk 15:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete That's another way of saying Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. YechielMan 09:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Pretty much reads like an advert, which isn't surprising when you see that the Wikipedia entry is being used as an advert on their web page as well; certainly a different method of failing WP:SPAM. EliminatorJR Talk 10:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above.--Svetovid 11:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete as spam. Tagged as such. EliminatorJR's revelation pretty much proves they're only here to promote an as-yet nonexistent piece of software. DarkAudit 17:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - As creator, I did not create it to advertise Uberyl, to prove this, I don't even own Uberyl and have never tried it, I was just trying to contribute to Wikipedia. > Rugby471 talk 18:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. You are an experienced editor and I will assume good faith, but it appears odd to write "Uberyl unites the power of Ubuntu and the beauty of Beryl" about something you haven't tried and don't advertise. Such statements increase the risk of spam suspicions and deletion. Try to keep WP:NPOV in mind. PrimeHunter 19:54, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per YechielMan, but not spam so not a valid speedy. Neil ╦ 20:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sounds like an ad and no claims of notability. Someguy1221 03:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Some quotes such as the one mentioned above by PrimeHunter, are ones got from the Spanish Wikipedia, basically I combined the article there with my own knowledge. > Rugby471 talk 15:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I found this article on the regular Ubuntu page, which listed a slew of derivative distros. Clicking on this link was a valid resource for me and was quite informative. I think that the interlinking of articles is crucial to the Wikipedia ecosystem and I don't want to see this article axed.
  • Keep. I'm a newbie on linux and ubuntu, and this information proved useful for me. Of course, the "add" formulation might be changed for a balanced review by a few editors...
