Ad interim

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This seems to be a classic case of WP:DICTDEF. No evidence this phrase has received the wider coverage required by WP:SIGCOV. Perhaps a redirect to List of Latin phrases (assuming this is a phrase, technically...?) would be best WP:PRESEVE-minded outcome?

 * Delete per WP:DICT. The phrase is already listed on List of Latin phrases. I added the reference from the article, which is all that is mergeable. Bold merge and redirect might have been quicker and uncontroversial in this case. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
