The result was speedy keep. I've thought about this further and I'm withdrawing the deletion request--I think as the attempt to indicate the equivalent of Roman capitals in Arabic it's notable, tho I'm not sure if the title should be about the book. DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

there seems to be no evidence that this is a significant topic, let alone notable. (But this may just be my lack of knowledge in the subject field.) DGG ( talk ) 06:11, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

::I'm Jewish. I know that dots, called NeKuDot/NeKuDos in Hebrew, can drastically change the meanings of words, even to the level of a Talmudic description of a life-and-death decision made incorrectly because of the lack of being corrected, as a child, by his teacher. Why doesn't "somebody" from the anybody-everybody committee check for this topic in an appropriate encyclopedia. Pi314m (talk) 22:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Add-on: So two years ago, Dec. 2014, it was noted
"This article is an orphan" - now a bit past age 2 it's time to kill it?
The article points to a book/PDF - did anyone qualified to read it do so, or even thumb through it? Pi314m (talk) 22:35, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
:::This is not the same as the dots and other markers used to indicate vowels in Hebrew (and in Arabic). Nor are they diacritical marks of any sort, which are widely used in Arabic script. Rather, its a proposal for the indication of capital letters as used by modern Roman scripts for the writing of arabic script, They have apparently never really been adopted.
