Hi, just curious: Meat still retains many of the more archaic or poetic meanings it once chiefly had in Middle English, especially retained in dialects and technical contexts. If superfluous prefaces should be deleted then why not remove that string from salt? Everyone assumes salt = table/dietary salt at first. Thank you. ~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 07:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Sigehelmus - hi, I'll reply at Talk:Meat. Sandstein 08:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Wondering about closing decision on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vittorino Milanesio
Hello, thank you for closing the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vittorino Milanesio as no consensus. I appreciate the work of admins as it can be a thankless job. I was also wondering why it was not closed as keep instead? Understanding WP:NOTAVOTE, there were four votes to keep and only one vote to delete (two including the nominator). The keep votes were in my opinion substantive, providing specific sources to support notability, while the lone delete vote only questioned the validity of one source, and did not respond to followup. So I am wondering why it was closed as no consensus, and if it would be possible to change the vote to keep so as to more accurately inform future deletion nominators about its status. --Habst (talk) 16:52, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Habst, I've reexamined the AfD and re-closed it. Thanks for the query. Sandstein 17:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
