Ghost Characters Theory

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable theory. No references given, zero hits on Google Scholar for either it or its creator. Fails WP:V, WP:N.  RGTraynor  14:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete; no significant Google hits and it never shows up in the Unicode mailing lists. I can't really tell if it's meaningful when it's talking about Arabic, but it's basically meaningless when it comes to Unicode.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete; 16 characters for Arabic pedaogical usage as proposed by Dr. Attash Durrani were indeed accepted at the May 2008 UTC meeting (although they have not yet been accepted by WG2), but the article misrepresents this as a Unicode endorsement of his 'Ghost Characters Theory', which it is not. It also suggests that these characters will be used to create characters productively, which they most certainly should not be. BabelStone (talk) 22:20, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Ghost Characters Theory is a concept of Font Programming which can be done with the help of Unicode support. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madzilde (talk • contribs) 18:16, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
