Comment Can you explain why this does not meet notability? Has same refs as Athens and others in Category:Slab serif typefaces? Davidstewartharvey (talk) 18:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidstewartharvey:, we must consider this deletion in isolation and review it per guidelines. There are a lot of articles out there that should be deleted. We couldn't possibly delete them all at once. --Ysangkok (talk) 00:00, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ysangkok:My question is simple - the nominator has not stated why notability has not been met against Wikipedia rules. In addition, if this is not notable should they not put in a group deletion of those who references are the same? I am not voting just asking why? I am not expert on Fonts but I have to say how do you actually prove a font is notable?Davidstewartharvey (talk) 07:29, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidstewartharvey: you should it with the WP:GNG. I don't know why the nominator only nominated this one. Probably because it is easier than to make a long list, and then you can't use all those javascript gadgets that do half the work for you. --Ysangkok (talk) 19:24, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, it's a nice font and all, but it doesn't meet GNG. I don't think it makes sense to have articles for fonts that aren't widely used or talked about a lot. --Ysangkok (talk) 04:09, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
