Salk

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a foreign word. It's not a loan word but rather an Estonian word. The primary topic for "Salk" should be the virologist (Jonas Salk) or else the disambiguation page "Salk (disambiguation)". It's certainly wrong for the primary topic to be a foreign term. Coastside (talk) 06:01, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are plenty of foreign loanwords in English, so the above rationale is confusing. That said, I am unsure if there is sufficient rationale for this and Lahingpaar, Brigaad, Diviis, Pataljon, Jagu, Rühm, Kompanii and such to exist separately on English Wikipedia. We don't need entries for 'Division in Estionian' - it probably should be merged to division. But this should be a bulk nom with all of those Estonian terms analyzed side by side (nominating just one or two - Articles for deletion/Malev (military unit) - terms - will be confusing). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:09, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge into single article. The information in these articles is useful and well-sourced, but probably better off in a single article about Estonian military divisions. Jpatokal (talk) 11:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Please continue consolidated discussion at Articles_for_deletion/Rühm. I copied this thread there already.Coastside (talk) 15:34, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
