No, that is 'unanimity'.  Here on Wikipedia this has never been the 
definition used of 'consensus'.  No one voice has a veto, when it comes to 
understanding whether there is a consensus view.

Numerically consensus is something like 80% approval, but of course a purely 
numerical criterion is not useful.
