Originality

 * Abstain now I suppose It was transwikied to wiktionary and therefore is not needed here. gren 01:54, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, important concept. Has potential to be expanded to cover the question of if computers can have "original" ideas, and the legal definition of original in copyright/patent disputes. Kappa 03:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * wow, I figured this was a sure delete.... I'd take it off VfD (not sure if I can thought...) since I guess I figured those issues would be covered elsewhere. gren 04:11, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * If they are, we'll still need some kind of disambig page. Don't worry about withdrawing though, I'm sure there'll be some delete votes. Kappa 04:52, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Like, ohmigawsh. I've never heard of originality before. Keep, on condition that someone do what Kappa suggests. Haikupoet 00:07, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Kappa, I dropped a few lines about originality as a requirement for a patent in the U.S. -- 8^D gab 06:29, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
 * Thanks BD2412. Now all we need is an article for nonobvious ... Kappa 21:25, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Turns out there's already a nonobviousness article; I added a redirect. -- 8^D gab 16:52, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)
 * Nice find, thanks Kappa 17:44, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. --Theo (Talk) 00:38, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
