Talk:127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1
I don't think we want entries on specific IPs just as we don't want entries on www.example.com or %SystemRoot%. -- Prince Kassad 22:39, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, this isn't a definition of 127.0.0.1, it just explains what is it. localhost covers this nicely. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:42, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as defined. See . The current entry ("localhost in IPv4") feels rather like having an entry 6.1: defined as "version number of Microsoft Windows 7". Equinox ◑ 22:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep but change the definition. The phrase 'there's no place like 127.0.0.1' has become pretty commonplace, and in that phrase the IP address stands simply for home. —CodeCat 23:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If this is only used as a quip or T-shirt slogan, then the entry should be there's no place like 127.0.0.1. I doubt that 127.0.0.1 is used in general-purpose running text to mean anything, let alone home (which is not really what it means in a technical sense). Equinox ◑ 23:14, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but the fact that there are millions of hits for that phrase should mean something. It's certainly in widespread use. —CodeCat 23:36, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, this is new to me. Such a sentence could be considered to 'convey meaning' per WT:CFI. Striking my 'vote' until I can think a bit more. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:20, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete this current definition. The definition CodeCat mentions hasn't been added, and no evidence has been presented that it exists. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:45, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
