Non-notable software release. Only references are to primary sources and to routine blog posts announcing the initial release. Substantial contributions from what I must assume is someone connected to the project, based on their extensive use of primary sources and non-encyclopedic content.

• Delete: The only coverage I can find is in non-reliable sources, like tech blogs and forum posts. - Astrophobe (talk) 18:03, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into
  Pale Moon (web browser): These two programs seem to be developed by the same people and are heavily related. Tusooa (talk) 21:25, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Merge into
  Pale Moon (web browser), specifically the UXP section. Basilisk was designed as a testbed for the Unified XUL Platform, which Pale Moon eventually adopted. So it would make sense to merge whatever can be salvaged to that section, and redirect to there. --pandakekok9 (talk) 05:35, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Leave it there I don't think so of merging it. Because, Basilisk and Palemoon are different web browsers or application. For my opinion it is just better to leave the basilisk article right there. But in my second idea/opinion you can move the page to the Palemoon, but much better to create different section in the Palemoon's article instead, I mean not merging it. It is just transferring of an article to a section of an article. Adriem914 (talk) 7:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC +8)Blocked sock. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This page should not have been deleted. Basilisk is not developed by the Pale Moon team anymore, it is developed by a new team of developers. The page should be un-deleted. 50.110.35.252 (talk) 12:57, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge, since Pale Moon has similar codebase to Pale Moon and both have similar userbase Rlink2 (talk)

• Leave it there Despite the codebase similarity of Pale Moon and Basilisk, it does differ in term of some functionality and features. I'm okay if we can keep this article or just make separate article on Pale Moon article (as per suggestion by Adriem914). LengthyMer (talk) 2:46, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
