  • Weak delete. Article doesn't clearly explain why this is notable. What makes it different from its opensuse base? A lot of organisations will modify a base OS (a Linux distribution or Windows or so on) to create a "base image" for deployment in their organisation, with organisation-specific customisations and configurations – how is this any diferent than that, with the organisation being the school system of Catalonia? Also, not listed on LWN Distributions List, which while not decisive, is in my view useful as an approximate indicator of Linux distribution notability. On the other hand, I did find one English language reliable source which does mention it, Tj Plomp (2009), Cross-national Information and Communication Technology Policies and Practices in Education, IAP, p. 142, ISBN 978-1-60752-044-3. I've also seen some Spanish language sources discuss this, which could be RS too, but I don't feel so confident in judging the reliability of Spanish language sources. I'd supporting merging this to an article on the Catalonia's department of education, but we don't seem to have such an article. Catalan Wikipedia does–ca:Departament d'Ensenyament de la Generalitat de Catalunya, but English Wikipedia has no direct equivalent–although the English equivalent article is List of Ministers of Education of Catalonia, which is not quite the same thing. So, maybe if we created an English article about the Department (as opposed to a list of the Ministers in charge of it), we could merge this stuff in that article. But, I can't really !vote merge when the merge target doesn't exist yet. SJK (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
