Over a decade since the previous AfD, this advertising brochure remains completely unsourced and I can find nothing about it except Amazon listings. The fact that I can find nothing substantial about the publisher, Legend Publications, is a massive red flag too as it suggests these books are a vanity project.

• Delete: An article on a particular abbreviated writing system, much of the article being close to a how-to guide. The 2007 AfD appears to have been influenced by the existence of the books, but these are WP:PRIMARY. The best source found in my searches is a passing mention of this and another such technique in a book but neither that nor anything else found provides sufficient evidence of notability.

• Weak Keep or Merge - see many mentions as a modern simpler shorthand compared to like Gregg. Maybe the first paragraph could go to an article on shorthand. StrayBolt (talk) 20:14, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
