The result was keep. Consensus that the subject is notably separable from Fork, meets WP:GNG and the entry is sufficiently encyclopedic. (non-admin closure) —Ganesha811 (talk) 00:28, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Basically a WP:DICDEF with an added WP:NOTGALLERY. Would be better as a redirect to Fork#Types_of_fork, but this has been reverted so needs discussion here. Fram (talk) 09:49, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

• Keep I've added a couple of sources. I think there's enough to justify an article.OsFish (talk) 11:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
• Keep or Redirect per Fram's suggestion. I think it's possible to expand the article, and have dropped a few citations in; the problem is the lack of obvious sources that have sufficient detail to cite from. If we can't get above 1,500 characters of prose (currently at just under 1,100) then I think a redirect would be preferable. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:13, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
• Keep - Exactly the sort of helpful reference work that the Disney Little Mermaid Ariel needed to help sort out her gadgets and gizmos from her thingamabobs. jengod (talk) 23:16, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
• Keep - Toasting Fork is a distinct cooking implement, not directly covered by the article Fork whereby it is explicitly focused on forks either to hold them to cut with a knife or to lift them to the mouth. Also sufficient references in my view. Turner537 (talk) 15:18, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
