[edit] Hypography

Hypography (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article seems curiously split between defining "hypography" as a word in its own right, and detailing a website/forum called Hypography.com - apparently the former has simply sprung from the latter, not the other way around. As a word it appears to be a neologism with little evidence of falling into use outside the website in question, and as a website it doesn't appear to pass WP:WEB; I could find only a couple of very brief third-party reviews of the site ([1] [2]). ~Matticus UC 09:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete It's a thinly veiled advertisement for the website mentioned in the article, disguised as WP:NEO. Yngvarr (c) 10:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - For the reason outlined above. Doesn't appear to have notability since the definition is largely internal and seemingly only promotes the website in question. WilliamH (talk) 16:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete It's a Trojan neologism! --Pmedema (talk) 16:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete It is non-notable per WP:WEB. Gary King (talk) 16:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Concur with editors above, having perused the article. It's something that doesn't belong here, disguised as something else that doesn't belong here. Sheffield Steeltalkstalk 20:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
