Sources available from Google News are either trivial, promotional, announcement, or passing mention. Article references appear to be press releases or closely affiliated with the product. Fails ORGIND and GNG. This article reads like a manual, which Wikipedia is not WP:NOTMANUAL, and Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion WP:PROMO.

Keep but improve - As if deletionism will solve everything, when a quick run through the usual mainstream news sources and citing them would do the trick. Blake Gripling (talk) 15:11, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then please post some mainstream independent reliable sources - I don't think there are any. I did due diligence and did a Google News search and a Google search. So please don't jump the gun on "deletionism".

Keep but improve - it's no less notable than any other Mac OS X/OS X/macOS release, so it should be fixed, not removed. Guy Harris (talk) 18:41, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to say this but WP:WHATABOUTX. There are other articles on Wikipedia that have not established notability, but that is not really part of this discussion. If this topic is not deemed notable, then that is how it goes. If it is deemed notable by the posting or addition of independent reliable sources, then that is also how it goes. Please, no one take any of this personally. Steve Quinn (talk) 03:18, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but improve- Guy Harris hits this on the head, it is no less notable than any other apple software release and it should be fixed, and not removed. FULL Disclosure: I was the one who originally created this article in the first place, I rushed to create it during the keynote, basically as I was watching it on my iMac. It has come a long way from when I created it. Haseo9999 (talk) 01:07, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Also, notability is not inherited WP:INHERITORG. Steve Quinn (talk) 03:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep News coverage is widespread: from Ars Technica review (already in references) to articles on various news pages (CNN, BBC mentions free update). Well, even media in nearly no-Mac land like Czech Republic register release of OS X Maverick (technet.idnes.cz). Pavlor (talk) 09:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
