Talk:check into

check into
See here. AFAICT, this is not a unit as e.g. check in is, but simply check, followed by into (which belongs to a following prepositional phrase). Longtrend (talk) 19:32, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's actually, where of course into becomes a single word. I feel uneasy about deleting it; probably keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:48, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think with the definition given it is a misspelling of check in + to, probably an uncommon one.
 * With another definition, several OneLook dictionaries have it. DCDuring TALK 18:04, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. The entry currently hosts the sole definition: "To announce one's arrival (at a hotel etc.)." A similar definition is 1. at Macmillan, and the definition given at oxforddictionaries.com (not OED). A search shows "check into the hotel" to be more common than "check in to the hotel": . --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:12, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the definition falls short as is. A person does not "check into" a hotel or a flight merely by walking into the lobby/terminal and announcing "I'm here". The notice of that person's arrival must be presented to the proprietor of the business, or an employee of the proprietor. A person who is "checking in" to an event like a conference must inform someone connected with the conference in a name-gathering capacity. bd2412 T 12:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Kept for lack of a consensus to delete. bd2412 T 12:47, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
