Per the rationale in my PROD-tag, which was deleted by what appears to be a single-purpose account. ╟─ Treasury Tag ► Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ─╢ 20:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Article needs work, not deletion. Simonm223 (talk) 21:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It's part of a family of articles that links from Unicode. I agree that it needs a lot of work though. --Northernhenge (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, I use it regularly in my work. It is very practical to keep an article about "Unicode arrows" (maybe the article can be renamed accordingly). Many scientific forums lack Mediawiki support, moreover, they even lack any sophisticated mathematical typesetting facilities (Stackoverflow, SG, maybe even Physorg), and I usually bypass their typesetting restrictions by copying mathematical Unicode symbols directly from Wikipedia's Unicode symbols article series. For an example, I compare it to Unicode mathematical operators, also it has deserved being worth of being a standalone article. Typesetting combinatory logic, mathematical logic and abstract algebra needs a lot of sophisticated signs. As for arrow examples, in lambda calculus, reduction and conversion rules all need specific arrow or relation symbols. It is worth of maintining an easily available source, it is very practical in everyday work. Physis (talk) 09:09, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
