Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DATE (command)
The test at AfD is otability, which requires multiple reliable independent secondary sources about the subject.  To be secondary, the source must off the author's own opinions or analysis.  It can't just be a summary of the command line options lifted from the man page.  Realistically, there are no such qualifying sources.  Occasionally, we will allow articles where the sourcing is weak but where there's a consensus a separate article is warranted for other reasons.  For example, we have an article on command substitution that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Command substitution|survived AfD but that was because there was a consensus it's important construct that appears in many shells and the best way to deal with it would be with a separate article explaining the concept and where it first appeared.  I find no similar rationale available here.  Nom is correct:  Wikipedia is OTAMANUAL
