Fails WP:GNG, and doesn't make assertsions of notability (we don't have a CSD/A7 for software though). Nothing except self-promotional claims/fluff, which seem common to all linux distros. My PROD for these concerns was removed by the page creator (which is fine). But then my other edits to it, which removed piles of material that seemed like user instructions, fluff, and/or generic content about the underlying Ubuntu from which is is derived were undone without explanation...this all points to an article headed towards promotion or various WP:NOT problems.

On further inspection, some of the content I removed (and removed again, with warning to editor) appears to be copyvio. DMacks (talk) 07:38, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This appears to be a failrly new distro that has been out for less than a year and doesn't seem to be particularly widely used. Crucially, it doesn't seem to have received significant coverage in reliable sources. To go from creation through prod, deprod and then AfD all within 24 minutes may be some sort of record. --Michig (talk) 08:30, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Although the website is sleek, the distro itself hasn't established notability (it's been on the waiting list of DistroWatch since January 2014). The user has created a previous page (Oikyo linux) two days prior which has been WP:G12'd (and G11), however the current page doesn't seem to be resemblant to the "About us" page (as per the G12 for "Oikyo linux"). Further, the only reference listed is for the etymology of Oikyo, from the Online Etymology Dictionary. There's a sense of promotional stuff as well. — Abderrahman (talk) 13:06, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
