Non-notable neologism of ambiguous scope. A previous editor added an HTML comment to explain their rationale for adding the {{Too abstract}} tag: "What is a script?" I agree, the article does not contextually define 'script'. It also does something similar with 'writing system', though at least it provides an internal link.

The end result of this is that the subject is essentially 'Transliteration and Transcription (linguistics)'. Both of those subjects are independently notable, but that doesn't make this subject notable, per DEL6 and NOT#CASESTUDY. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 03:57, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is essentially a fork of Transliteration. Transcription is not a "conversion of scripts", since it usually involves representing speech or signing in a written form, not converting one written form into another. The topic is covered better at Transliteration, which also happens to contain a link to Transcription (linguistics). Cnilep (talk) 03:22, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
