The result was delete. Consensus that this is not article-level material. Whether to add the mention and the redirect proposed by Squeamish Ossifrage is an editorial matter.  Sandstein  14:40, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Hungarian Cyrillic alphabet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article mentions two systems of writing Hungarian in Cyrillic: one in the text, another one in the picture. It states that the first system is used in Vojvodina, but in fact it is not. The second system is mentioned in the Omniglot site, but it does not make it notable. Omniglot is a site which comprises actually used writing systems, but also fancy ones constructed by the site’s visitors. You may create a new way of writing English, send it to Simon Ager’s email, and it will be published in the Omniglot site, but it does not make your way of writing English notable.

 * Redirect (and the slightest of smerges) to... probably Hungarian language, although one of the subpages might be an option. Omniglot isn't reliable, and I can't find anything about the "Vojvodina" version of this... but this paper in International Journal of Russian Studies at least confirms the existence and purpose of Bateman's Hungarian Cyrillic. That probably earns it a one-sentence mention in an appropriate context, but not article-level treatment. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:01, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Even if we take the Omniglot information at face value, nothing there indicates that the alphabet has ever been in actual use, and I can't even find anything about its author, Samuel P. Bateman, purportedly an "American-Soviet linguist". I don't think that this even deserves a mention in Hungarian language. By the way, I redirected Samuel P. Bateman from Sovietization (?) to Cyrillization of Georgian, where he's actually mentioned, although the latter article might be worthy of AfD too. Google search even for Самюел Бейтман comes suspiciously empty. No such user (talk) 10:29, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
