 * Capable of being overridden in a subclass? I don't think that's right. Also, there's confusion as to whether the proxy itself is virtual. Keep. DAVilla 13:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, and if you really want then make the context on virtual more specific because the "capable of being overridden in a subclass" sense only applies when you are talking about members of a class. For what it's worth, if a proxy were a member of a class, you would be able to say "virtual proxy" with the meaning that it can be overridden in a subclass. --WikiTiki89 13:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I guess I never really understood what it means. But that's all the more reason to explain it. Hard for me to say it's intuitive if I still don't get it. DAVilla 13:32, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we are missing the specific sense of virtual that the definition at virtual proxy refers to, but it's not only proxies that can be virtual in that sense. It's the same sense as in "virtual memory" and "virtual machine" (see Virtualization). --WikiTiki89 13:40, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
