* '''Keep''' [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Motorola_6809&diff=prev&oldid=840038892 "I don't understand it"] is not a good reason for nomination. Nor is then cruising other articles and removing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intel_8086&diff=840038393&oldid=839712123][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intel_8086&diff=840041738&oldid=840041371][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Motorola_6809&diff=prev&oldid=840038892][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=KDE_Software_Compilation&type=revision&diff=840038771&oldid=820385151][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=KDE_Frameworks&type=revision&diff=840038642&oldid=836397911] inbound links to this article. Particularly not when that involves [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intel_8086&diff=840038393&oldid=839712123 a change] from "is [[source-compatible]] (not [[binary compatible]]) " to "is not [[binary compatible]]", which shifts the whole implied meaning of a sentence from "quite compatible" to "not very compatible".

* '''Keep''', the terms source and binary compatibility are of long standing (e.g. [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=bIXEQX8svOoC&pg=PA273&lpg=PA273&dq=%22Source-code+compatibility%22&source=bl&ots=Q5jUjsgJQe&sig=VtEY09m27U7nTTNEsvtk5Ie4d9I&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiW5eW69fPaAhXKVsAKHbjEDck4ChDoAQhJMAg#v=onepage&q=%22Source-code%20compatibility%22&f=false from 2002]) and clearly opposed definition. I do hope the deleted links will be restored promptly. [[User:Chiswick Chap|Chiswick Chap]] ([[User talk:Chiswick Chap|talk]]) 15:32, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
:: The term goes back to at least the 1970s, just from the mentions we already have, in relation to new generations of microprocessor.
:: I suspect that the term might go back as far as the 1950s, and [[Tony Brooker]]'s very first uses of [[Autocode]], this being one of the justifications for it. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 15:50, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. Certainly not [[WP:NEO]] or [[WP:OR]] as a few [[WP:BEFORE|basic searches]] in GBooks and GScholar should have shown. Three cite books have been added. '''[[User:Sam Sailor|Sam]] [[User talk:Sam Sailor|Sailor]]''' 17:35, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
