The Wikipedia article listed on the website was deleted as "non-notable". Here's an archive of it though: https://web.archive.org/web/20170708075915/https://en.wikipe...

Interestingly this one is still up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPodLinux

Which is the equivalent project (also on μCLinux) on an iPod.

I remember ...taking my sister's iPod something to install this and then to connect it to my PS3 in order to jailbreak it. My sister was not happy of course, I am not sure whether I was able to reset the iPod to its original state or not.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would suspect it would have a special place for Wikipedia deletionists, somewhere near the people who never return their shopping carts.

I think Wikipedia deletionists would love to open up a circle of hell just for video games and related topics because it seems quite hard for a book to be considered notable on Wikipedia but hard for a game not to be. For instance only half of this author's books

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Lepore

are considered notable enough to have Wikipedia pages (and notably not the excellent https://www.amazon.com/If-Then-Simulmatics-Corporation-Inven... but maybe that is just my opinion as a computer nerd who works in the public opinion field... If you notice I try not to say things like "most people think that" because I don't want to be caught with my facts wrong.) but truly obscure games like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Princess

seem to not have to fight for notability at all. (Personally I kinda like that one, but I'm a serious weeb and even I'll admit that it is terribly balanced and too grindy)

Given the price of bits these days a single bit flag with 'non notable' would suffice and then they could keep these and allow people to see 'full' or 'just notable'. That should satisfy all parties. Of course there is then also the cost of the bits of the articles themselves but that too would be manageable.
