This is another "list" page. Whatever is notable to have a page should just be added to a category and this page should be deleted. UnrepentantTaco (talk) 21:22, 29 May 2013 (UTC) [Edit reverted as per WP:BE and. Unscintillating (talk) 03:42, 24 June 2013 (UTC)]

 * Comment I don't see the value of having this separate from List of type designers, especially as most of the freeware designers also made non-free fonts. Not sure if delete, redirect, or merge is best. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:28, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge to List of type designers. Per WP:LISTN, list-based articles are a perfectly fine class of article and can provide useful annotations to the list entries that categories cannot. While List of freeware type designers is a fine topic in principle, Colapeninsula is correct--there are few or no type designers of any note that don't also produce fonts for sale as well. It would be best to merge this list into the more general List of type designers. Both lists have a lot of non-notable type designers that could be culled, but this is a matter of editing, not deletion. --Mark viking (talk) 17:12, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge to List of type designers, per Mark viking's comment.Dialectric (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
