*Delete This is a recreation of the Grantha script article in a biased manner; Grantha is the widely accepted neutral name for the script - vatteluttu being a local name for it; there doesn't seem to be any difference between the two in form. The image included in the Vatteluttu page makes no mention of Vatteluttu - rather it mentions the Grantha script (also known as Pallava). HumanFrailty (talk) 06:40, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I do not understand the allegation of bias here at all. David Diringer's The Alphabet: A Key to the History of Mankind treats the two scripts as closely related but separate. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep Grantha and Vattelutthu are not the same script. --Arvind (talk) 16:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep. Given HumanFrailty's standard nominations of anything Tamil (some of which are valid noms), I find it hard to consider anything more than a disruptive nomination. Read the numerous gbooks comparisons on the origins and relationship between the two scripts. -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 16:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
