I previously tagged this as G4, but this version is substantially different from the deleted version. Non-notable software. SL93 (talk) 02:28, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This isn't my area of expertise, but I was unable to find any coverage beyond the barest of casual mentions about the topic, to say nothing of significant coverage. I looked at the previous AfD and it leaves a lot to be desired on both ends. Using the "External Links" of the current state of the article, only one (maketecheasier) gives significant coverage (presuming it is independent/reliable). That's not enough coverage to create an NPOV, non-copyvio article with encyclopedic coverage of the topic, therefore this encyclopedia would be better off without it. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 14:57, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete--I don't see any grounds for notability either. Drmies (talk) 17:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Ghettoblaster, if you want your comment to count, you'll have to give a reason, or no administrator will give it any credit. Drmies (talk) 01:08, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I consider this a notable example of a Hobbyist operating system. Per definition it will not have the same number of publications as a mainstream operating system like Microsoft Windows. However, there are good references mentioning it on the web. Ghettoblaster (talk) 09:16, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NSOFT and WP:GNG. I could not find in-depth coverage to warrant a standalone article, and the page sourcing does not meet either of the guidelines. Heartmusic678 (talk) 14:47, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
