Deletion - Why?

What is the reason for the proposed deletion? The subject seems to be notable, so I assume that's not it. As of Mon Jan 16 2012, it has "parabola gnu/linux" has 148,000 google hits not hosted by the parabola project ("parabola gnu/linux" -site:parabolagnulinux.org). It's also important to the free software movement, being listed as one of the FSF/GNU project's recommended Free GNU/Linux distributions at http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html - it's also important within the Yeeloong user community as it is the only free distribution currently installable on the platform, as while as one of only two distributions that take full advantage of the hardware.

Two points for you. 1. On Wikipedia notability means something very specific, so please read WP:N to understand that first and 2. the deletion discussion is not going on on this page, but over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Parabola GNU/Linux instead. - Ahunt (talk) 14:56, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declaration of non-partiality

I am affiliated with Parabola, and am editing the article. I am making edits that are NPOV; primarily editing for clarity.

I also removed the patently false claim that the first release was in September 2011. This claim cited DistroWatch, from my reading of the DistroWatch page it isn't clear that it's claiming that that was the *first* release. Even if that is what the page is claiming, it is false. I first installed it in May 2011, and it was added to the GLDT in February 2011.

Please stop doing this!

You can't change what a thing is just because Wikipedia have certain policies, Parabola isn't a "Linux Distribution", Parabola doesn't

use a "free and open source model", that isn't fair, that wrong, you should respect what we are as a project. 186.176.28.49 (talk) 18:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
