Contested PROD. My reason for PROD tagging was: Non-notable neologism. No sources found for notability of term. The concept is covered in existing articles including Leet; the phenomenon of substituting letters with numbers is much older than Carino's book. bonadea contributions talk 15:32, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is only one hit for "Oizea code" in Google books, and it's an OCR error for veuf (French for widow). A search for "Oizea" alone returns about 280 hits, but again they all appear to be OCR errors. As bonadea suggests, substitution codes of this type are common, and Leet-speak is better covered elsewhere. Cnilep (talk) 00:39, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
