[edit] Etch (Debian)

Article about the upcoming release of the Debian Linux distribution. While Debian is a very important distro in the Linux world, an individual release isn't really encyclopedia-worthy - see the deletion discussion on the article about the Dapper Drake release of Ubuntu. Any worthwhile information should be merged into the main Debian article. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 01:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Merge and Redirect to Debian. I'm weak on this because while I think having the information is ok, it's also iffy in that it'll be obsolete soon enough. FrozenPurpleCube 01:24, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, if only for consistency, as the prior releases are already mentioned as bulleted names and dates in Debian without their own articles. Add new features/functionality back into Debian. --Steve 04:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Steve's comment. EVula 05:43, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Meh, delete I can't see this as a very good redirect, and the article's purpose falls a bit to close to non-encyclopedic/trivial crystal ball content. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 02:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't think there is or will be enough Etch-specific information to make this article worthwhile. —midg3t 05:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
