Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate colleciton of information, not a guide, and not a man page. There's no evidence (including what I could find from WP:BEFORE) that this command has been covered in reliable, independent sources – except for 'Linux for beginners'-style books that tutorialize its usage but offer no encyclopedic context. I know that a lot of these kinds of articles exist like env, but that's a notoriously bad argument for keeping or deleting an article. They entirely contravene long-established Wikipedia policy to make something that exists between a man page and a GeeksForGeeks page. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 15:00, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
