| Well, the difference between "no consensus" and "keep" is pretty much semantics, because the result in both cases is exactly the same.

| Kind Regards, | |||
| The reason I listed this as "no consensus" is because I considered the four "sandbox" nominations together; the argumentation for and against deletion of all four of them is pretty much the same, and several of the commenters are also the same. The four as a whole don't show anything much of a consensus, hence I closed all four in the same way. But since this is mostly semantics I wouldn't mind changing it to 'keep' if that makes you happy.
