~~No notability given, and notability and COI tags present for almost 2 years. Seems to be a page created by the font's creator. UnrepentantTaco (talk) 20:26, 3 June 2013 (UTC)~~ [Edit reverted as per WP:BE and [1]. Unscintillating (talk) 03:17, 24 June 2013 (UTC)][reply]

Delete - No coverage in independent reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:13, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Does not meet GNG or N. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:01, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - seems clear from a web-search that it is widely used in gaming etc. I'm not sure what kind of RS cover modern fonts. May be COI but the content seems fine. Johnbod (talk) 13:32, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - But is it covered in any reliable sources in some depths to meet notability?
Delete. Is there any precedent for font notability on Wikipedia? I'm inclined to vote delete because of the lack of secondary sources. Gamaliel (talk) 21:01, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - There is no specific notability guidelines for typefaces or fonts, but the general notability guidelines would apply. As for precendent, there is an entire category hierarchy for typefaces. And Times New Roman immediately sprung to mind as a notable typeface. -- Whpq (talk) 21:33, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just to be clear, I have no doubt there are typefaces which meet WP standards of notability. I was just wondering if we had developed any particular metrics to measure whether an unfamiliar one was notable. I'm not sure how to apply GNG in this case.
