Keep. Cyanogen and this mod have been taking huge steps forward in developing for mobile platforms - both for Android-specific devices, and for the Linux kernel in general. The article is well-fleshed, informative, and a source of important information for future users. Currently growing in popularity and usage, and mentioned in many media outlets, CyanogenMod is already notable and groundbreaking. "Leaking" a usable Donut operating release, the inclusion of the developing BFS, and its bleeding-edge mentality are all turning heads...from the general public and developers alike. --Eris Siva (talk) 03:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


With the invaluable contribution, dedication and hard work by Cyanogen, the Android OS is greatly enhanced. As a end user, I have grown to enjoy my G1 and My Touch 3G devices even more with the work done by Cyanogen. I would recommend everyone to use his build and modifications on their Android based devices. Please leave the article on here for others to learn about and someday benefit from.


Keep To repeat my message from the discussion page: CyanogenMod represents a major development in the entire mobile space. It moves rapidly, far more rapidly than any casrrier pushes out updates to their phones, and is on the cutting edge of innovation with features like BFS, a scheduler released about two weeks before its inclusion into the OS. This is an enthusiastic, growing community headed by an enthusiastic developer, and is certainly one of the many developments the Android team was hoping to inspire. That CyanogenMod can exist and succeed like it does is, alone, justification for Android's existence to many, and is a major draw for the platform.

Delete Klondike, your arguments are WP:LIKE and WP:USEFUL. CM has no coverage from reliable secondary sources other than a brief mention in a lifehacker article. This is a clear delete. Jamougha (talk) 03:43, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, Engadget, TechNews, and other development websites have also covered Cyanogen's achievements - and specifically this mod. --Eris Siva (talk) 03:56, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Links? The page you linked to does not mention cyanogenmod. It doesn't link to cyanogenmod. Jamougha (talk) 04:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The CyanogenMod ROM is more akin to a distribution of Android (as Debian, Red Hat, or Ubuntu for Linux). There is a distinct userbase, a devoted group of testers, and significant customization beyond the Android Open Source Project releases. The releases include community driven development, merging of new technologies, and popular selection of material for inclusion. Beyond BFS (mentioned above), CyanogenMod has featured the Advanced Launcher, kernel support for tethering, cgroups, swap, compcache, inclusion of the 2.6.29 Linux kernel, filesystem changes, initialization modifications, and numerous other unique features not present in other distributions/releases of Android. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.42.19.233 (talk) 03:49, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep CyanogenMod is one of, if not the strongest force in open mobile-os development and Android optimization specifically. The subject is notable and reliable sources are on the rise. Having said that, the article currently reads like an advertisement and should be edited to comply with NPOV guidelines. Monban (talk) 03:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Keep CyanogenMod is noteworthy in my opinion. It is the Ubuntu of Mobile Linux (Android) right now. Mobile Linux is newsworthy. A distribution of a noteworthy Operating System should likely be noteworthy. We don't need a giant article, but something brief and appropriate would fit nicely here. -vessenes

Keep Wikipedia is not paper. CM is as notable as many of the topics on here. At the very least it could be merged into the main android page. --Ryan Gardner (talk) 03:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If anyone deserves a wiki, CM does! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.93.168.59 (talk) 04:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
