Not notable, less than 2000 search results on Google, also reads very promotional. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 05:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are mistaken. It was a very popular distribution in the Puppy Linux community during its time. It was one of the few Crunchbang-styled Puppy-based operating systems with some interesting goals behind it. The sourceforge page has well over 20k downloads. - Ovine1 ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 05:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ovine1: It appears that you have just forged my signature because it still links to my contribs and logs page, please read WP:SIGFORGE and change your signature, regards. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 06:50, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A single google search isn't a particularly good rationale for a WP:AFD nomination. I don't see anything wrong with the article, with two readings. As a historical article of an older type of Linux distribution, it well worth keeping. scope_creep (talk) 11:00, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I did not only cite a Google search, your vote did not address the issue of notability that I also address in my deletion rationale, if you have any evidence to the contrary, please state that. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 01:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Champion, That is what you said in the AFD rationale above. less than 2000 search results and it reads like a WP:PROMO. It is not promotional, after two reads, and as a historical article on a Linux distribution, at a time, when many of these types of distros were being created for very specific and niche requirements, in an early and busy period of Linux history, clearly provides historical context, and I think is good encyclopedic knowledge. You don't see the value in it, nor the enormous creative effort it takes to make these things. It is off historical value, and worth keeping. scope_creep (talk) 10:09, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
