I believe that this page does not meet the general notability criteria. The Talk:XBRLS page itself states (from 2008):

"XBRLS doesn't have much notability and jus[sic] a few links because XBRLS is a brand new, only a few months old."

XBRLS was an idea that never gained any traction, and it's inclusion as a separate page is inconsistent with other XBRL-related developments that are mentioned on the main XBRL page. For example, Inline XBRL is used for millions of company reports every year, including UK tax filings, filings for listed EU companies (under ESEF), and filings to the US SEC, Japan FSA, and South African CIPC, and yet is covered in a section on the main XBRL page.

The only relevant first-page hits for a Google search for XBRLS are the wikipedia page, and an article written by the authors of XBRLS.

XBRLS was not an official XBRL Standard, and its inclusion as a separate page is likely to cause confusion to readers. Pdwxbrl (talk) 11:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to XBRL, especially since it's defined as a subset of it, and there doesn't seem to be so much specific coverage about it. MarioGom (talk) 19:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
