 * Abstain Weak keep as the creator. It's SOP, yes. However, it has idiomatic translations (🇨🇬, or even the word-for-word translation, which is more lexicalised than the English - you can't say *si faisable, *si disponible, etc.), plus it has a lemming. I don't consider these two criteria to be definitive, but they tell me that the entry is mildly useful. Canonicalization (talk) 20:37, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: 1) it looks set-phrasey; 2) it has WT:LEMMING: M-W; 3) Canonicalization above reports usefulness for French, and the Czech translation pokud možno is set-phrasey; Czech does not have *pokud přijatelno (if acceptable), *pokud dostupno (if available), etc. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:31, 6 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - it is not particularly literal. A person might say "If possible, I would like to go via the cash machine" out of politeness knowing full well that what they are asking for is not impossible. John Cross (talk) 18:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per John Cross, and per tne lemming principle. Khemehekis (talk) 03:33, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
