 * While one may understand that a signal pistol is a pistol used for giving a signal, it is perhaps not obvious that this does not refer to the used to give the starting signal for a race.  --Lambiam 05:15, 22 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. When I saw this term I thought it must mean "starter pistol" - in fact, I thought that meaning was so obvious that I considered voting "delete" on that basis. Then I saw Lambiam's comment and looked at the entry, and I learned that in fact it doesn't mean "starter pistol". Clearly the meaning is not obvious from the sum of the parts. —Granger (talk · contribs) 06:06, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per Granger. Purplebackpack89 20:47, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Not obvious from SoP that it has this specific meaning. Mihia (talk) 03:15, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
