The sources in the article are all unreliable. Blogs, Youtube, and other useless sources etc. I'v searched for academic sources via Google Books and the web in general, but nothing reliable so far has appeared; Just more blogs and artwork. I can only assume this was just a trend or probably from some comic book or anime. Whatever it is, the article fails WP:N JudeccaXIII (talk) 19:18, 22 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 20:57, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Disagree: fails WP:N and WP:GNG; concur with @JudeccaXIII regarding lack of reliable sourcing; apparently promotional in nature. Quis separabit?  22:24, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete A quick search throws up nothing, well beyond some very iffy stuff on some very iffy sites. Nope looks made up to me.Slatersteven (talk) 15:58, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any indication of real notability. It seems to be almost entirely promotional in nature, and the dkmu.org (the DKMU being the group that supposedly invented this thing) forum is either infected with some really incompetent malware or had its security designed by a moron. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  16:19, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Only somewhat notable in a specific subculture. It may be useful to know that duplicating the symbol and having it seen by as much people as possible is believed to increase its power, meaning that this article may also be a type of soapboxing.  — Paleo  Neonate  – 16:37, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, as articles on such things don't have to be from the Middle Ages. Possibly notable for its widespread usage, and from reading about this it seems the name of the page should be 'The Linking Sigil', which I've created as a redirect (along with 'Linking sigil'). Maybe this deletion request should be posted on more project pages, or at least some of the editors who may have an interest in such things can be notified.

 * True, but they still have to be notable(that is to say verifiabley notable).Slatersteven (talk) 09:33, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
