NN Linux distro. No independent sources, WP:ENN. MSJapan (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

To be more precise, there's a threefold problem. First, this isn't mentioned on the target page. That's addressable, but I can't find anything supporting the merging of unsourced content being compliant with the policy on unsourced content. Lastly, even taking a WP:V standpoint based on the fact that there's a non-RS, non third-party, non-independent homepage for this, there's no list of or subsection about Slackware ports listed on the Slackware page, and I see no reason to create one specifically to hold one line of unsourced content.

There is no WP:V problem with this material. The complaints seem to be a pointy smokescreen for overzealous deletion. I have added a mention to Slackware#Hardware_architectures and so am OK with merge or redirect. Deletion is not called for here because Slackintosh is a potential search term, we have a couple incoming links and WP:CHEAP. ~Kvng (talk) 14:04, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
