Notability to come. Chealer 05:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep - The article has some reliable sources, so it appears to pass WP:V. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 05:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The nominator is not concerned about Wikipedia:Notability, not WP:V. utcursch | talk 05:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand Reference number 2 is a third party computer website, that qualifies as a reliable source. However, the article as a whole should be expanded. Not enough detail.--Kylohk 12:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- While you are technically right that reference number 2 is from a third party computer website, that may be misleading. The website is a Linux website (and a portal too). However, if someone finds a reference to Sharif Linux from a general computer website, that could be interesting.--Chealer 04:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a work in progress. Has a reliable source and also is referenced in other places on wikipedia. CredoFromStart talk 14:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I found 3 references to the article in the main namespace. 2 of these were See also links without any description and without a clear relation, which I have removed. That leaves one reference from List of Linux distributions, which lists distributions not taking their notability into account.--Chealer 04:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 20:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The references are trivial mentions. Not all Linux distros are notable. Mentions in mainstream media (such as newspapers, general computing websites etc.) would make it notable. A para on tuxmachines.org and LWN.net in 2006 doesn't make this worthy of an article. Mention in List of Linux distributions and Sharif University of Technology with one sentence description, if you wish. utcursch | talk 05:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
