Simpel-Fonetik alphabet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

At first glance the Simpel-Fonetik alphabet looked to me like a worthy subject for Wikipedia, but when I went to search for possible references online I came up almost empty-handed. The only thing I found that wasn't published by the alphabet's creator was this article (snippet view) in the Stanford Alumni magazine. By itself, I don't think that this is enough to satisfy Wikipedia's general notability guideline. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 01:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. At present Simpel-Fonetik is just a one-person crusade, and the Wikipedia article written by the creator of Simpel-Fonetik seems to be just an attempt to promote it (WP:SPIP). BabelStone (talk) 09:36, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete but not A7 - not a person, group, website, animal or event. (I've declined that.) It does count as WP:OR, though, and probably promo as it doesn't seem to be particularly notable. It's a better system than that damn silly ITA thing was, but I can't see it catching on. That's for the future, anyway. In the present, it doesn't seem to have done yet.

 * Delete - Per above, while not a speedy criteria, it certainly doesn't pass N or GNG. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
