I don't see any evidence online that this subject has gained any traction or coverage in RS. A Google Scholar search doesn't return anything significant. Does not meet WP:GNG signed, Rosguill talk 22:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. The only "sources" are not reliable, and are authored by the inventor of this notation (who does not appear, as far as I can tell, to be a published mathematician at all) besides. There's no indication of any wider attention. Indeed, I'm not sure that "can be used to write big numbers" is inherently a claim of significance, but as there's no clear indication that the article author and the concept's creator are related, it is technically exempt from consideration under A11.

- Delete. This appears to be the creator of this notation. It is unlikely that such a notation invented by someone without a PhD in mathematics even six years after the invention would be notable, and in this case I can't find any independent sources that cover this.
