This is a foreign word, not a loan word. Although it might make sense to include this content in an article on the Estonian military, foreign words should not have articles in the English Wikipedia. Coastside (talk) 06:11, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salk. This should be a bulk nom. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:15, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The deletion rationale is nonsensical: what exactly is a "foreign word"? More importantly, per WP:MILUNIT, national "battalion-level or equivalent" units are notable, and an Estonian malev is larger than a battalion. Jpatokal (talk) 11:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
