I can't find any independent, significant coverage of these standards; suggest a merge to GNU Project. The one book cited doesn't seem to mention these standards by name, so it seems the sentence they support are OR. Toadspike [Talk] 06:29, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. The GNU Coding Standards are the subject of a full-length article in Linux Journal ("What's GNU? GNU Coding Standards" by Arnold Robbins, No. 16es, August 1995). They're also referenced in dozens of programming books; among those with more than passing mentions are Advanced Linux Programming (Mark L. Mitchell, Alex Samuel, Jeffrey Oldham, 2001), The Art of Unix Programming (Eric S. Raymond, 2003), The Definitive Guide to GCC (William von Hagen, 2004), and Code Reading (Diomidis Spinellis, 2003). —Psychonaut (talk) 23:24, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
