Talk:control panel

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Sense 3: "The part of a system that the user can access, as the control panel of a security system, also called control unit." This seems redundant to sense 1: "A flat, usually vertical surface onto which controls, instruments, and displays are mounted." Equinox ◑ 21:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- That definition is much broader than sense 1, so I don't think it's redundant in principle although it's not familiar to me. Might be one for RFV? —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 02:45, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: I'm a little confused here... It appears that sense #3 is actually redundant with both sense #1 and sense #2 - I can't picture a control panel that is wouldn't be either physical controls or virtually displayed controls. I've also never heard of this being synonymous with control unit, which seems to uniquely refer to CPUs and unrelated to this term? – Guitarmankev1 (talk) 19:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- The user who added the sense, @Espoo, is still around—maybe they can explain what they meant since I'm also (still) struggling a bit. Otherwise I'm inclined to agree after looking at it again, delete. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 19:25, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
