I don't think this meets Wikipedia's guidelines for web site notability. The article is pretty much completely based on Phoronix itself as a source and can't find a way to fix it. The site, particularly the benchmarks, have been cited by mainstream media but I don't find anything substantial written about the site itself. I tried this Google search to find stuff about Phoronix that is not in Phoronix itself and that is not about the test suite (which has a separate article). I didn't see anything that would be of interest what it comes to writing a Wikipedia article. There is also not much of organization behind the site and it seems to be more or less an one-man show. ilmaisin (talk) 12:16, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
