Linux containers → List of Linux containers – It's a list article, so follow WP:NCLIST. But it may be better to merge/redirect to Operating-system-level virtualization#Implementations, which tabulates all the entries anyway. Alternatively, it could be moved over Linux container, which redirects to it. Oddly it neither transcludes nor is transcluded by navbox {{Linux containers}} and is not in Category:Linux Containerization. 94.21.238.64 (talk) 08:26, 5 February 2019 (UTC).Reply

Support: while WP:NCLIST doesn't specify exactly how much of a given page has to be a list for it to be considered a list, the introductory prose is 290 characters whereas the list is 379 characters. So there's more list than there is article on the page at present, and the 290 characters that are not explicitly a list serve either as a dictionary definition, something we don't do, or serve as a springboard for a list (i.e. "several implementations exist..."). TL;DR - yes. SITH (talk) 12:29, 5 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
And FWIW, I'd also support nom's merge proposal if WP:NOTESAL isn't satisfied. SITH (talk) 12:31, 5 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Comment. Until 1 July 2016 this was a redirect to LXC, also known as "Linux Containers" with a capital C. 94.21.238.64 (talk) 03:54, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
