Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IPodLinux
On desktops, *nix only has around a max of 15% market share, less if we exclude Mac OS X -- yet it still has a significant impact.  Given the clear impact necessary to be mentioned on SlashDot, Newscientist.com, Popular Science magazine, as well as several technical books on the iPod.  This significance is magnified by the fact that it is one of only 3 systems available for the iPod (the Apple firmware, iPodLinux, RockBox).  iPodLinux was the first group to release documentation on much of the iPods' technical specifications.  The project would be noteworthy, if just for this contribution (which, currently, is under-documented in the article).  Whether or not the above managed to properly convince you, the only relevant thing that Wikipedia is Not is an indiscriminate collection of information (notability).  Now, notability is a very relative term, and means different things to different people, but there are some things that clearly don't belong on Wikipedia (I think there's a wikiproject or something with that title).  Given the argument, I don't think it is in the group "clearly doesn't belong on Wikipedia", if it is in the gray area, I think the article should be kept.  If it is in the gray area, and there isn't significant other reason to delete it, I believe that it should be kept, much on the same principals of Wikipedia:Assume good faith|Good Faith.As I said, the project would be noteworthy if just for it's contribution of technical documentation.  It would also be greatly improved by more (non-primary)/(3rd party) sources.  However, this is not reason to delete it, |AFD is not cleanup.You may object to my involvement in this discussion and the article, on grounds that I am somewhat involved in the iPodLinux wiki.  I became a primary editor of the article before my involvement there.  Also, I am primarily only an editor there.  I don't generally create new content, but organize, copy-edit, cite, etc. What is there.  I treat it much as an expanded version of this article, as I realized much of the data ''is'' unsuitable for here, as either technical, too detailed, etc
