Definition is "alt letter case of adlet", I don't think alt letter case entries are needed or useful when it is just the first letter being capitalized -- that is an alt letter case which applied to every word (aside from some proper nouns) in the language. - TheDaveRoss 16:04, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

If you type "Adlet", adlet would still show up if this is deleted. DonnanZ (talk) 16:35, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Keep. The point of entries like this is that the initial is optionally capitalised in running prose, and not just in the cases where the initial is (almost) always capitalised. This looks attestable for "adlet"/"Adlet", as in this example, but can be RFV'd if desired. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 18:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Keep per Al-Muqanna. Binarystep (talk) 06:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Keep for Al-Muqanna’s reason unless it can be demonstrated that the capitalization is merely an artefact of capitalization conventions at the relevant time (for example, it was customary in English-language works before the 19th century or so to capitalize all (important) nouns). — Sgconlaw (talk) 18:48, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
