proprietary software

More SoP from guess who. SemperBlotto (talk) 09:58, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I think this entry is a "staging area" for the translations. I am against the deletion. --Sae1962 (talk) 10:15, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Then it should use {{translation only}}. I strongly oppose allowing literally anything as a translation target. Apart from allowing a load of entries with no lexical information, it would be highly subjective; what I consider to be a good translation of something, someone else may consider to be a poor translation.

The foreign-language entries, if they are not themselves SoP, should translate as (deprecated template usage) proprietary (deprecated template usage) software (two words). SemperBlotto (talk) 10:28, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

• Keep: This is a notion is the antonym of free software and should remain with its antonym. --Sae1962 (talk) 08:43, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • The antonym of green is not green. Does it also deserve an entry? — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 15:50, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Delete. It is any software that is proprietary. Green hat. Equinox ◑ 15:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Whether something is a synonym or an antonym of something is not relevant in my opinion. WT:CFI doesn't mention this, and neither should we! Mglovesfun (talk) 15:37, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Delete SoP. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 15:50, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Delete, just a sum of its parts. DAVilla 08:59, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
