Speedy deletion
editI was noticed by Dennis Brown on my talk page that this page had been marked for speedy deletion. I cannot see that there is a link saying "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" nor can I see a tag for speedy deletion. Anyway, the reason given was that this article was spam or had an commercial agenda. I am not affiliated with HVD Fonts nor do I currently own Brandon Grotesque but after reading about it I found the font charming and the history, description and thoughts behind it well made out. It is an up-and-comer among the recent typefaces surfacing today and I believe it deserves an own page. Note that there are several other commercial typefaces and fonts having their own Wikipedia-page without having any other significance than that they were included in Microsoft Windows.

- Sorry, if you check the article history you will see that I reviewed the CSD nomination and removed the template. In my estimation the article is a neutral description of a type face, much like many other type face articles and is not promotional. I encouraged anyone who still thinks it should be deleted to take the article to WP:AFD. I hope that clarifies what happened. - Ahunt (talk) 16:06, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
