The result was keep‎. And it would be useful to have a discussion on the article talk page about a possible Merge to Torque. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:11, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While some similar articles exist, such as Orders of magnitude (acceleration), this list appears to consist of a few random pieces of trivia, with no support that I can find for passing WP:NLIST. LittlePuppers (talk) 20:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Acknowledging WP:Otherstuffexists, and also the paucity of information here compared with much of that other stuff, I am undecided so far about how to opine. I am 51:49 in favour of retention. It is properly sourced, and the topic itself is notable. Unless I reverse my opinion, please count this as a keep !vote when closing. Compared to the similar articles this is but a stub. I am not sure that is invalid 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:17, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as we should have orders of magnitude articles for commonly measured quantities. Probably the article could be merged to torque at this point of its measly dimensions. I think it will take less than 1 mNm of torque to press a delete button on the keyboard. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't believe I can objectively cast a vote (being the original creator), but I'll say that (at its start) Orders of magnitude (force) was similar in scale. Orders of magnitude (numbers) was yet smaller/worse formatted by quite a margin. If any of this is in breach of Wiki etiquette, please let me know.

@Qaziquza I believe we should interpret that as a !vote to keep. Being the creating editor does not preclude you from offering your formal !vote. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two quick replies: first of all, my understanding is that yes, you are allowed to vote (and you're doing so in a much more civil way than some article creators I've known :P, don't take this discussion as trying to push you away from contributing or anything); second, I would like to point out that in addition to WP:OSE mentioned above, standards have changed a bit since, oh... 2003.

• Keep - quite acceptable as a stub with potential for expansion - with trout to heavy-handed AfCing. Ingratis (talk) 06:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Merge into Torque. This would be an ok section/paragraph in prose form to provide a sense of what a handful of torque magnitudes correspond to in the everyday experiences of people. It provides some context to an otherwise abstract measure. I don't think should remain as a standalone stub as currently composed. It could be recomposed to something like "List of example torque measurements", but the "magnitudes" isn't as relevant as the examples of measurement to real-world examples. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Initally I rejected the draft version as not being suitable for an article. I then later accepted after several discussions. Many others found it a wrongful rejection and therefore a page which should be listed as an article. Count this a !vote to keep.Questions? four OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
