Looks SOPpy --XY3999 (talk) 14:02, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * It hurts me to see this without a hyphen. But, okay, USAGE IS KING. It does seem like "oriented to details". Probably delete. Equinox ◑ 14:06, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * If it had a hyphen it could be regarded as one word. The translations don't look very soppy. DonnanZ (talk) 14:18, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Compounds with "oriented" or "-oriented" are open-ended, e.g. people-oriented, task-oriented, subject-oriented, etc. I see this as a manifestation of a regular feature of English rather than something that needs a separate dictionary entry in each instance.

 * The translations all parse out to (for which we might want to consider creating an entry; see ).  That strikes me as simply a different construction, and not grounds for keeping the EN term, which really looks like SOP to me.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:46, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mihia, and delete at the same time. Per utramque cavernam 16:56, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Why the latter? DonnanZ (talk) 19:19, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * For the same reason: "I see this as a manifestation of a regular feature of English rather than something that needs a separate dictionary entry in each instance". Per utramque cavernam 22:22, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If you forget about your own home-baked ideals for a minute, you will find that and  pass the lemming test with flying colours, check the refs. DonnanZ (talk) 22:47, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * As for translations, shows "detailist" to be much less common as of recent use. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:56, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
