Ark Linux

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Notability tag has been there since 2009, searching online yielded no reliable third-party sources to establish the notability of Ark Linux; subject fails WP:GNG. Sudo Ghost 12:10, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It is a real distribution, but there seems to be nothing particularly noteworthy about it. --Kristjan Wager (talk) 12:25, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete subject is clearly non-notable. Ducknish (talk) 15:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per the above. Is there some "List of Linux Distributions" that would serve as a redirect target? Since this is a real distribution, it might be a reasonable search term, so a Redirect makes sense here as well. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus at Talk:List of Linux distributions seems to follow the standard at several other "List of ..." software articles, where entries meet the first criteria of WP:LSC (each entry meeting the notability criteria). If there's no article and no reliable sources for Ark Linux, it very likely doesn't meet that criteria. - Sudo Ghost 19:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because there are a couple notable features, as evidenced by the reviews. There aren't any other distros (that I know of) that can be installed in as little as four clicks, nor any that offer a Tetris clone while the packages are installing. They also provide their custom "Mission Control" control center. A few (not all) of the reviews are linked to on the DistroWatch page (http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ark), while others may be found via Google. ~Piki (talk) 20:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
