Dried vine fruit

Bit of a terminological issue here, but ultimately this should be merged with Raisin. BenKuykendall (talk) 15:17, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep, passes WP:GNG. GBooks reveals a large number of books on this subject. SailingInABathTub 🛁 09:28, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have been more detailed. I'm not arguing the topic is non-notable, but rather a WP:CFORK of Raisin. They're both different terms for dried grapes. There are some terminological issues: some speakers exclude "sultanas" or "currants" from the category of "grape", other include them... But still the topic of "dried grapes" is best addressed in a single article. BenKuykendall (talk) 12:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * There may well be a better way to handle the overlap between these pages but deletion is not it. On one hand you say that dried vine fruit (which includes sultanas and currants) and raisins are synonymous terms for dried grapes, on the other you say that 'some speakers exclude "sultanas" or "currants" from the category of "grape"' (did you mean Raisin?). So the proposal to merge is taking a particular point-of-view. Regardless this should probably be a talk page discussion - not a deletion discussion.

 * Keep - Overlap alone does not establish WP:CFORK per WP:RELAR. As pointed out by, this should have been handled on the Talk per WP:BEFORE B4, C1 and C3. Deletion of this article does not improve Wikipedia. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:35, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
