Non notable product. The reliable sources (most of them tech show promo blurbs) do not mention this product. They mention other products, which this article claims are based on the sheevaplug, but there are no sources actually verifying that. Even if they are based on sheeva, notability is not inherited, and it is those actual products which could be notable, not this one. Vast majority of sources are unreliable self published primary sources from the developers (and it seems of the linux developers really, not the plug developers) Gaijin42 (talk) 13:54, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I'd say the SheevaPlug is actually notable, but the article is just pretty crappy. The commercial product section should be mostly stripped, replaced with something to say these commercial products exist. Maybe something similar for the OS section too. There were a load of these things sold, with them being one of the first replacements for things like the NSLU2 after they went EOL. Reedy (talk) 15:27, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What sources show that notability? The closest thing I can find is a single slashgear article. Everything else is random blogs or primary sources. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:30, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Hmm, this is a tough one. Certainly seems notable but I've found basically nothing in the way of in-depth coverage by reliable sources. A Google Books search came up with some quick mentions and a book with several pages on how to dump the device's memory for digital forensics purposes, which shows it hasn't totally escaped notice but can't actually source anything in the article. I'm undecided but unless more sources show up it's looking like a merge to Plug computer might be the best choice. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:10, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Here are two reliable sources that establish notability: [1], [2]. ~KvnG 05:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
