The outcome of this request for deletion was to Keep. We can work on definition, but since this is one of the BE850 terms, we cannot really delete the article, or redirect anywhere. I think the current definition is workable.--Eptalon (talk) 15:40, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rubbish computer has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Currently just a dictionary definition. Rubbish computer (Ping me or leave a message on my User talk) 14:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

Strong merge: Let's have the article merged into the page destruction rather than erased because damage is part of destruction and because redirecting or merging Damage to Destruction can help Simple English Wikipedia readers decide which terms are used by whom.

Comment: Damage is one of the Basic English 850 words. I thought there was some policy for them. Lights and freedom (talk) 20:54, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is. The page should be kept, and not merged. To have explanations of words in our Simple basic vocabulary seems sensible. This one is pretty thin. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:43, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have rewritten it, hopefully I get all the meanings, and the explanation is moderately simple. I also added images, images often help--Eptalon (talk) 15:26, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eptalon, I'm ok with it being kept now it has been improved, especially as it is one of the 850 basic English words. Cheers, Rubbish computer (Ping me or leave a message on my User talk) 15:32, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
