I've updated the External Links with definitive, independent sources.
Does this fulfil the requirement to prevent deletion?

It does not, DistroWatch is not a reliable, independent source that shows notability per WP:GNG and/or WP:NSOFT. Per DistroWatch themselves, it is user-generated content and all you need to do in order to be listed is (1) exist as a distro, and (2) if you don't want to wait for them to review your distro, you can literally buy your way into a listing. Therefore having an entry in DistroWatch means absolutely nothing in terms of showing notability. If I had a distro, all I need in order to be listed on DistroWatch is $220; it's indiscriminate as to what it will list, therefore being listed there is not an indication of notability in any way. Besides which, articles require multiple third-party independent sources to satisfy WP:GNG, and this one has none. - Aoidh (talk) 01:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
