Doesn't meet WP criteria for "Web Content"

[edit]

PROPAGANDA was neither content which is distributed solely on the Internet nor primarily only available for sale via the Internet, and was distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators; e.g. several Linux distributions including Red Hat 4. It was a popular collection during its era and was a notable component of the early Linux community (an element supported by several distinct stories on Slashdot). The content could be merged into the disambiguation page but the history seemed a bit long for that, and I feel it would be of interest considering it was a rather large, popular collection that the creator subsequently terminated.

Poor references, notability

[edit]

The articles' only inline citation is its license file...other source to back it up is a Slashdot comment with a score of 3. I removed a "citation"[1] (not even sure what that website is) that didn't support the passage, "While not greatly influential, Poag's work with PROPAGANDA led many to develop an interest in Linux as a platform during its formative early years." I get the feeling this is prime for deletion unless someone can provide some decent references, or show any notability beyond two unnoticed posts Strangerpete (talk) 12:44, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
