Has a large overlap with Natural semantic metalanguage, which covers semantic primes as well. It would make more sense to move any substantial content there instead. The A universal syntax of meaning and Natural semantic metalanguage sections are completely unsourced and don't appear to conform to the encyclopedic style.

We'd be well advised to leave a redirect page in place after the deletion of Semantic primes. Kubis (talk) 05:01, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Redirect - it's a common enough term so we should merge the useful, well-cited content and keep the page as a redirect - car chasm (talk) 07:15, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the section in Natural semantic metalanguage. I'm struggling to find anything worth keeping here aside from the table, which is already in the target article, but I suppose we can keep the page history under the redirect just in case. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 12:48, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think having the term itself as a redirect is more valuable than the page history, but I've updated my vote as I'm also fine with redirecting. - car chasm (talk) 17:37, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
