Tagged for notability since 2013. Article topic lacks [[WP:GNG|significant coverage]] from [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent sources]]. <small>([[WP:42|?]])</small> No major reviews listed in its entire history [http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=unity at DistroWatch]. Only hits from reliable sources in my custom tech sources search were two Softpedia hits for new version releases, but even those were repackaged press releases (full of PR copy, no original reporting). (Rest of hits were largely for Ubuntu's Unity or for the Unity game engine, even after paring down the search.) Only redirect target with any potential would be the mention at [[Mandriva_Linux#Derivatives]], on which Unity Linux is based. <span style="background:#F0F0FF; padding:3px 9px 4px">[[User talk:Czar|<span style='font:bold small-caps 1.2em Avenir;color:#B048B5'>czar</span>]]</span> 21:54, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

* '''Delete'''. I found [http://www.tuxradar.com/content/whats-best-lightweight-linux-distro this review] at [[TuxRadar]] and [http://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/14785/unity-linux-entwickelt-livecd-weiter.html an announcement] from [[:de:Pro-Linux]], but there doesn't seem to be significant coverage. If we could find some more reviews, that'd be enough to save it, but I'm not too keen on glorified press releases from Softpedia.

*'''Weak redirect''' to [[Mandriva_Linux#Derivatives]] where it is mentioned. I am not totally sure that mention is due weight, and if we delete it, [[Unity Linux]] should not be redirected per [[WP:SURPRISE]]. But well, it is a verifiable one-liner, so...

*'''Redirect to [[Mandriva Linux#Derivatives]] (with the history preserved under the redirect)''' in lieu of deletion per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Preserving the history will allow the redirect to be undone and the article restored easily if more reviews are found. [[User:Cunard|Cunard]] ([[User talk:Cunard|talk]]) 05:06, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' and then Redirect if needed because there's no need to keep the history and contents if it's in fact not notable, let alone convincing as it's own article, and this software was last active 6 years ago, so it's a long fetch to suggest it could be improved soon; therefore we delete as we have with other articles since it's confirmed as both not notable and unimprovable. [[User:SwisterTwister|<
:*NinjaRobotPirate found one review from [[TuxRadar]]. It is possible that more reviews will be found in the future. Redirects are cheap and there is no harm in retaining the history to facilitate a merge or an article restoration if more sources are found.
