The result was redirect to List of typefaces#Sans-serif. Rational for a redirect is compelling but also consensus that the material here is unsourced so deleting prior to redirect.... Spartaz Humbug! 11:58, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

This is a self-promo article of a non-notable font. —Fitoschido [shouttrack] @ 11 September, 2014; 04:07 04:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - font/typeface article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Sources are download sites and a blog, not RS. A search turned up no RS coverage of this font.Dialectric (talk) 21:19, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- I don't see lack of many independent sources (with a couple secondary sources included) a threat to this specific article's integrity, verifiability, or accuracy. As the article subject is also not for sale either, I'm inclined to suggest that we keep it. --Gryllida (talk) 06:48, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- The issue is not one of accuracy, but notability. Per WP:GNG, to be included, subjects need significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. And per WP:RS and the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard download sites are not independent and do not contribute to establishing notability.Dialectric (talk) 12:22, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of typefaces#Sans-serif, cannot find significant coverage sufficient for individual notability. J04n(talk page) 00:57, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Delete, no redirect lacks significant coverage in reliable sources, I don't even think that it deserves a redirect. --Bejnar (talk) 16:46, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of typefaces#Sans-serif. The sources in the article are insufficient to meet WP:GNG so it doesn't justify its own page. However, per WP:BEFORE, we should look for alternatives to deletion and I see no policy reason to delete when a redirect would be just fine. Subjects redirected do not require notability or even merit; what is required is that the redirect should not be harmful and should take the reader somewhere relevant. In this case this would be a valid redirect. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:46, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
