 * Hmm, it's not the shop itself that's antique. DonnanZ (talk) 17:21, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * In chocolate shop the shop is not chocolate itself either. And most record shops won’t make The Guinness Book of Records. --Lambiam 17:40, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I would still keep this though, in speech one could say "We bought it in an antique shop", in the other sense "This is a really antique shop". The only reason gets an entry is that it's one word, but there is another entry for . This is an odd place. DonnanZ (talk) 18:00, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The only reason this is any different is that antique can be either a noun or an adjective: the shop takes the noun as a modifier, but (generally) not the adjective. That argument would apply to any phrase that uses the noun attributively- antique buyer, antique collector, antique fancier, antique forger, antique restorer, antique seller, antique showroom, etc. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:56, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete, clearly SoP. --Lambiam 17:40, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, SOP. Per utramque cavernam 22:26, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Though I guess it can be kept by THUB. Per utramque cavernam 12:30, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm quite happy to keep this, if only because "antique" doesn't apply to the shop, but to what it sells. SemperBlotto (talk) 07:31, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * And "antique" applies to an antique commode, but not what it's designed to hold. Context and common sense should be enough to sort these things out. After all, we don't need an entry for orange suspenders to tell us they're not multiple devices for suspending oranges... Chuck Entz (talk) 08:25, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WT:THUB (Polish, Portuguese) and WT:LEMMING. Admission: The lemming principle is not supported as a rigid policy per Votes/pl-2018-12/Lemming principle into CFI. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:23, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It's interesting that /an'tik ʃop/ and /antik 'ʃop/ mean different things…but I'm neutral over whether or not this is kept. Ƿidsiþ 07:40, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That occurred to me too, different stress on antique. DonnanZ (talk) 10:32, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per lemming. ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  10:50, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, good translation target, innocent. Fay Freak (talk) 02:59, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
