self-drilling screw

As it stands, this is self-drilling + screw. We probably should keep one and delete the other, or expand one. Flackofnubs (talk) 18:35, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

A synonym of self-tapping screw. DonnanZ (talk) 20:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Not quite a synonym, more context provided from WP. Keep anyway. DonnanZ (talk) 12:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

These kinds of technical terms have exacting, often even safety-relevant, distinctions, the collective system making the individual terms more inclusionworthy than their trivial technical nature would suggest, thus are beneficial to collect. Perhaps Wonderfool should discern it with a real job, but I may also be projecting. Weak keep. Fay Freak (talk) 13:58, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

• RFD-kept: nominated by a banned person. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:35, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

  Nope, sorry, you can't do that. Flackofnubs (talk) 10:17, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Tough. DonnanZ (talk) 18:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

• Delete, and I’m striking out the obviously bad faith attempt to close this. Theknightwho (talk) 08:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

This is a vendetta against Dan. So my conclusion doesn't count? DonnanZ (talk) 17:54, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

No - I am preventing Dan (and you, given you're now engaging in the same behaviour) from abusing RFD to get what you want. Theknightwho (talk) 18:04, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

What is evident is that for any of Dan's keep votes you go out of your way to vote delete. Is that rational behaviour? DonnanZ (talk) 18:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Nope. I don't vote on most of them. Theknightwho (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

As I thought, irrational. Three keep votes, one delete. We'll see if that changes in the next month. DonnanZ (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Haha what? Theknightwho (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Nothing has changed in two months. DonnanZ (talk) 22:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Probably WT:THUBable. German has Bohrschraube among others. Other Germanic languages also seem promising, e.g. borrskruv. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 19:46, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
