I can find no reliable, third-party sources that cover this filesystem in any depth. Fails WP:GNG. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 10:48, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - This is a widely-used filesystem on AmigaOS, and the default filesystem in MorphOS. Maybe we can't expect it to be documented by very major computer science books, but nonetheless it has the same standing as the plethora Amiga and non-Amiga filesystems that are documented on this encyclopedia.

    @LjL: Then please help save if by finding sources that satisfy the WP:GNG criteria. I agree with Qwertyus that notability is not established — the only sources in the article are primary sources and not independent. The article has had a {{Refimprove}} tag since July 2009. -- intgr [talk] 12:41, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I have now cited a couple of books about some statements in the article. LjL (talk) 16:38, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The coverage in Digital Image Forensics is a single sentence. The coverage in Computer Forensics is a bit better, but still only an entry in an exhaustive listing of file systems (though I guess it hints at real-world use). Is merging to MorphOS an option? QVVERTYVS (hm?) 17:14, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not find that makes logical sense. The filesystem wasn't created on or for MorphOS, and it is still in use on AmigaOS (and IIRC AROS, it just so happens to have been chosen as the default filesystem for MorphOS after being made open source. And again, do we need, what, a book written entirely about the topic of SFS for this article to warrant staying? LjL (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
