The result was '''delete'''. Unsourced, claims no notability, even the source found by Sckessey is just a passing mention - and even that source says it's a "lesser known distro". [[User talk:Black Kite|<b style="color:black;">Black Kite</b>]] 10:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Clearly an advertisement. [[User:The Zwinky|The Zwinky]] ([[User talk:The Zwinky|talk]]) 02:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' - I immediately found evidence of [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] when I searched the Google News archives ([http://archives.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/06/12/linux.powerpc.idg/index.html example]). This might be a candidate for being [[WP:ARS|rescued]]. -- [[User:Scjessey|Scjessey]] ([[User talk:Scjessey|talk]]) 14:28, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

**This CNN link is three sentences. I am yawning. Since when did three sentences on a news site justify an ''encyclopedia'' article? [[User:SchmuckyTheCat|SchmuckyTheCat]] ([[User talk:SchmuckyTheCat|talk]])

*I find this notable because ROCK was one of the earliest "make your own distro" systems, which I was made aware of via print media. This, or a number of committers that contribute these ideas to other projects (Debian, Fedora) would seem to satisfy the notability criteria.

*'''Comment''<!-- You nominated the article. Don't add a vote. --> - A brief mention doesn't make it notable, and the language of the article is more akin to a pitch than an encyclopedia.[[User:The Zwinky|The Zwinky]] ([[User talk:The Zwinky|talk]]) 17:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

*'''unexceptional, go away.''' Delete this stuff. We do not need articles on every single distro kit, even if it gets references, why is the subject important? [[User:SchmuckyTheCat|SchmuckyTheCat]] ([[User talk:SchmuckyTheCat|talk]])
