Proposed deletion of Vertex (typography)[edit]

The article Vertex (typography) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The only reference supporting the principle definition is another wiki whose only source is Wikipedia. As best I can tell, this as an unsupported statement that was initially made in the glossary of a 2006 software manual and is now perpetuated by wikis and less-than-vigorous research. The statement that a vertex is a lowest point is especially dubious because it has, since at least the early 1600s, referred either to a highest point (or else corners in general). Regardless of accuracy, it is not a fundamental term in type design and does not need its own article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —jameslucas ^{▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄} 18:56, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your diligence. I agree with the proposed deletion, especially considering the low significance that an article of this subject has on Wikipedia. Given the plethora of otherwise useful articles on Wikipedia, deleting Vertex (typography) is a welcome way to tidy up our great online encyclopedia.
