double standards much?[edit]

you won't allow primary sources on the main libreboot article, but you'll allow lb.at link with only primary source to this article.

conflict of interest suspected!

looking at you, @Yae4 92.40.218.255 (talk) 03:47, 1 June 2023 (UTC) — 92.40.218.255 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Primary sources may be used when they meet criteria. See WP:PRIMARY. -- Yae4 (talk) 03:51, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hah!

there is even a Phoronix article.

Phoronix articles are banned as references in the Libreboot article, so why are they permitted *here* in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.218.255 (talk) 04:37, 1 June 2023 (UTC) — 92.40.218.255 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Note the nuance here: Phoronix articles are not a reliable source, but the "further reading" section articles to not have to meet the WP:RS requirement but can be added if we think they are useful. PhotographyEdits (talk) 07:09, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Phoronix is not banned, and is cited in hundreds (?) of articles.[1] -- Yae4 (talk) 15:11, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Libreboot.at[edit]

Include Libreboot.at?

1. Support

2. Oppose

Oppose since the project is hosted by the FSF/GNU people and LibrePlanet is an FSF event, this source is not independent. I think it should therefor not be included in this article, until some independent sourced is published. Until that point, I think there is a WP:DUE weight issue.

Comment: It is premature to discuss this issue, again, until deletion or merge of Libreboot.org is settled. Suggestion: Review WP:PRIMARY and scroll down to WP:SECONDARY. See "Secondary sources are not necessarily independent sources" and the rest. As for WP:DUE, something has to be expanded first or this is not going to be much of an article, and so far it is only a brief mention of existence of Libreboot.at. -- Yae4 (talk) 15:30, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
