Talk:GrapheneOS

Relevancy discussion

Posting my comments from conversing with the author on Discord here:

Yeah, I think we just generally need to have a discussion as a community on exactly where the line should be for creating articles about companies or entities which embody positive aspects of consumer protection, and what the appropriate level of detail is when talking about them

Might be better to have this conversation on the wiki and try and draw some people's attention to it, but I'll put some thoughts here for now:

I've been playing around in my head trying to come up with some rules for this, e. g. if x, then it should be included, if y, then it should not. I've not come up with anything properly satisfactory, but one idea I've played with is essentially 'if what's notable in a positive about a company/entity can be fully conveyed by linking to its wikipedia page, then it does not need a page here'. One of my concerns with something like the Graphene article, is where it might lead to article creep. e.g. 'if we have a graphene OS article, then why not an article on every major linux distro?' Personally I feel like Graphene is more unique and notable than your average linux distro, but it would be a hard line to draw and argue. Keith (talk) 13:42, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
