IodéOS

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is advertising. The operating system is proprietary (closed source). It may be based mostly on open source components, but few to none of the details for preparation of the ROM are available. This is not mentioned in the article. Also, WP:TooSoon.

Of the 5 sources, 3 are minimal coverage or known unreliable:

DroidGamers source[1] is a mention without substantial coverage.

Heise source[2] is a brief mention in a list.

Linder source [3] was deemed unreliable self-published blog at Reliable Sources Noticeboard.[4]

Other source Note: when adding it to the List of custom Android distributions[5] a self-published forum post at XDA was used as a source; This source was (correctly) removed from the article during "neutrality and cleanup for accept" edits.[6]

Note The article creator, Manonrouget is a single purpose account.[7], with a declared conflict of interest on the draft page until AfC cleanup.[8]

Note article creator user page was just deleted for "U5: Blatant WP:NOTWEBHOST violations"[9] Yae4 (talk) 18:48, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I accepted this draft out of AfC because I believed there was enough significant coverage in the Android Police and Tarnkappe sources, along with the DroidGamers source, to satisfy WP:GNG after cleaning up the promotional tone. An opinion from someone more experienced in this subject matter is appreciated. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 01:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Of those in the link bomb, Le Figaro and Le Parisien do appear to be more than just mentions; however, it is less clear if they are articles with editorial oversight or blogs without oversight. Both being published, then updated quickly, within a couple hours, indicates more a blog to me, because editorial review should happen before initial publishing. A blog would be published, then read by the author and updated quickly. From the links:

Also, to quote, translated, from Le Parisien,

Iodé has only "a few hundred customers" at the moment, but it has an appetite...

Is "A few hundred customers" notable? -- Yae4 (talk) 18:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I checked the sources and I see WP:GNG fulfilled using WP:THREE

Checked

The Heise source is very reliable and it is not just a brief mention in a list - it's a regular list mention.
Tarnkappe.info is unbeknownst to be but seem to be legit by every measurement. The article writer also made clear that they haven't received any money for this review.
Androidpolice.com also seem to be legit by every measurement. The article writer also lists not only positive points and it doesn't read as a promotional article

✗ Fail The Linder source due to WP:SELF since the founder of this website is also the creator of the article.

✗ Fail The droidgamers.com source seems mostly promotional

Idea: Instead of deleting the article I would prefer to bring this issue to WP:COICOIN and they should decide how to handle this issue. The article creator user:Manonrouget doesn't seem to bother to make themselves familiar with the rules of Wikipedia. The link bomb seems to push the work to WP editors and changes are made without signing the posts or without being logged in. GavriilaDmitriev (talk) 11:59, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as the subject appears to be notable, but refer the issue to COIN.Jackattack1597 (talk) 21:56, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
