Fails WP:ORG. The only reliable coverage that is not from the company itself appears to be lists that merely include System76 among other Linux OEMs or otherwise trivial coverage (see for example [1], [2], and [3]). This is not sufficient for notability. RJaguar3 | u | t 05:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep well-known Linux PC OEM with plenty of coverage available. You might describe any of the sources as "trivial". What is your criteria for dismissing references? --JBrown23 (talk) 10:01, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The first two links are cited to omgubuntu.co.uk, which does not appear to be a reliable source (although, to be fair, I couldn't find any WP:RSN discussion on this site). The second link is borderline trivial coverage as well (a brief description of a System76 computer in a list of Linux computers). The third source (which I pulled up from a Google news search) is unquestionably reliable, but the coverage of System76 is clearly trivial ("Over the course of 2012, in fact, we saw machines from not just specialty makers ZaReason, System76, and ThinkPenguin offer this option, but also Asus, Dell, and more."). I couldn't find any reliable sources with nontrivial coverage of the company in my research, but I would certainly appreciate being pointed to any that do exist.

- I have added what seems to be non-trivial coverage from some well known publishers, including Engadget, PCWorld, and ZDNet. I hope this helps with this effort. Benjaminoakes (talk) 22:54, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
