+The guy (or gal) who decided about notable or not must be either a
+very bad researcher or did not try at all - I suppose it is the latter
+because even if you look with half an eye only you can't miss
+international reactions and notablility of Mageia. Of course wikipedia
+pages in other languages must be very hard to find for this person.
+
+We should gather all occurrences of "Mageia" on the web (excluding the
+mageia sites of course) and insert this list of a few hundred URLs
+into the discussion page.
+Listing them at Mageia doesn't seem to help - there are already lots
+of reviews in many languages listed on the press page.
