Physical access (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Two word term means what it sounds like, and therefore is not restricted to computer security, or even to security. Term might be used in contrast to "remote access" but is not notable. The citations given on the page are not about the coining of or the history of the term "physical access." It might also be considered a neologism. Speciate 05:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The article is accurate and adequately sourced. And no real reason to delete this article has been provided. Colonel Warden 06:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:DICDEF and WP:NEO are real reasons. See also this similar AfD case, which ended in deletion. Speciate 23:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Important concept needing better sources, which exist in abundance. --Dhartung | Talk 11:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Important IT concept. Captain Zyrain 13:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The term is in widespread use in IT, and more can be said about the topic than a dictionary definition. I wouldn't consider it a neologism. The article is about the concept, not the term, therefore no absolute requirement for "coining [and] history". Finally, if the words can be used outside of the context of computer security, the title can be disambiguated--if it ever becomes necessary--to something like Physical access in computer security or Physical access (computer security). --Itub 11:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
