Contested PROD. Article about a writing system that does not appear to be notable. Please see [[Talk:Keyscript]] for the author's argumentation in favour of the article being kept, as well as a list of links to websites where Keyscript is mentioned. Unfortunately, none of the sites is a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] ([[BOTW|Best of the Web]] doesn't qualify I'm afraid), and only one of them ([http://www.cannedcrab.multiply.com/journal]) has more than a trivial mention of Keyscript, so the basic notability criterion of ''significant coverage in reliable independent sources'' (see [[WP:GNG]]) is not met. There is also no actual claim of notability per Wikipedia's definition in the article or in the reasoning on the talk page. That a number of people around the world have bought a product doesn't make the product notable.

The following webpage has a non-trivial reference to Keyscript:

: (Wasn't that already on your list of links?) That's corroborative evidence that it exists, but not everything mentioned in ephemeral discussions is "notable". —[[User:Tamfang|Tamfang]] ([[User talk:Tamfang|talk]]) 17:33, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
::It's on the article's talk page, but was added there after this AfD was created, so I asked her to copy it here. --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 17:55, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
: That is one person in a <s>Usenet News</s> Google Groups thread who talks about the system. <s>Usenet</s> Google Groups is a [[WP:SPS|self-published source]], not a reliable source, and the discussion is not particularly extensive in any case. As Tamfang says, it shows that the system exists (which was never in doubt :-) ) but not that it's notable. --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 17:55, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - No coverage in reliable sources. When I searched for sourcing, any mention of Keyscript in reliable sources turned out to be about something else. -- [[User:Whpq|Whpq]] ([[User talk:Whpq|talk]]) 16:44, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
