Mutya (calligraphy)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Mutya is undeserving of a Wikipedia page on the basis that it is a personalized script variation of the official Tagalog script, Baybayin, and that it is designed and practiced by one person with no official credentials that can give authoritative substance to his personal variation. The creation of personalized variations is purely recreational and should not be promoted as anything other than that. In a similar vein, if I were to create my own personalized variation for the Latin alphabet, it would be undeserving of its own page as would this one. The existence of this page implies that there is an officiality associated with this variation, when again in reality only one person primarily uses it. It is in no way appropriate for an encyclopedic website. It sets a false precedent that personalized script variations can have their own Wikipedia page, irregardless of how many people practice it. Furthermore, this page only has one source, a site called Omniglot, which is not an acceptable source under Wikipedia standards. ThePanorama (talk) 06:11, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Not an area I know anything about. Looked like a decent topic with images and all the trappings of a proper topic. If not notable, it's not notable. Legacypac (talk) 15:51, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
