* <s>'''Keep'''</s>: There are a few articles written by a single group: [https://web.archive.org/web/20240412232902/https://www.expoland-dz.com/sites/default/files/general/research/TR-1999-05.pdf], [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/asi.10177], plus some other coverage: [https://archive.org/details/runninglinux0000wels/page/496/mode/2up?q=%22linux+software+map%22], [https://archive.org/details/linuxsamplerlinu00fraz/page/14/mode/2up?q=%22linux+software+map%22], [https://archive.org/details/networksofinnova0001tuom/page/198/mode/2up?q=%22linux+software+map%22]. Even though the first group of sources shares roughly the same authors, and the second group of sources doesn't contain a lot of coverage, the sources should demonstrate bare notability.

*:@[[User:Helpful Raccoon|Helpful Raccoon]] Wikipedia is not a [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal|manual]](Articles should not read like [[Textbook|textbooks]], with leading questions and systematic problem solutions as examples.
*:These belong on our sister projects, such as [[Wikibooks]], [[Wikisource]], and [[Wikiversity]].) ref 1 is a passing mention, 3,4 has only one paragraph. 5 is just using the map to find licenses not treating the topic independently. Reference 2 details what LSM is and how they used it, but again wikipedia is not a manual and shouldn't have article on every single topic that is required to publish a software. It is better situated in perhaps Wikibook. [[User:Greatder|Greatder]] ([[User talk:Greatder|talk]]) 16:35, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
*::The first source is not just a passing mention, it contains plenty of coverage in pages 5-7. However, I'm just now seeing that ref 1 states that this group is closely connected to a major repository that uses LSM, the UNC MetaLab Linux Archives. That's enough to throw independence into doubt, so I'm withdrawing my keep vote. [[User:Helpful Raccoon|Helpful Raccoon]] ([[User talk:Helpful Raccoon|talk]]) 21:52, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
