Clear WP:DICDEF. The examples in the "article" are copied directly from wikt:ubiquitous. This could, I suppose, be soft redirected to Wiktionary, but deletion seems better to me. Deor (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

: It is actually the other way around:

:I was compliant to the recommendation of this being directed to Wiktionary, as one option, and wrote the quotes section for wikt:ubiquitous, in case that becomes the decided option.Starlighsky (talk) 19:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Starlighsky

• Delete, seems like an utterly unnecessary content fork of Ubiquitous computing Geschichte (talk) 19:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
• :I beg to differ. As it was when the article was started, the link for defining ubiquitous was incorrect. The article is an effort to correct the information. Starlighsky (talk) 02:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

• Keep: There are too many problems with theological terms being confused with terms in medicine, computer science, and other topics.

Here is the lede for omnipresence:

Omnipresence (redirect from Ubiquity (ability))

Omnipresence or ubiquity is the property of being present anywhere and everywhere. The term omnipresence is most often used in a religious context... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starlighsky (talk • contribs) 02:35, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

• Soft redirect to Wiktionary or else delete. The disambiguator (adjective) in the title marks this as dictionary content, which belongs at Wiktionary. Cnilep (talk) 05:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
• :I was going to title the article Ubiquitous, but it was already taken as an article that redirects to omnipresent.
• :Allowing this article to titled Ubiquitous could solve several problems at once. Starlighsky (talk) 12:49, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

• Delete This is a dictionary definition, and redundant with the Wiktionary page (which, like any dictionary, is fully able to clarify separate uses in different domains). No need to redirect. Llajwa (talk) 15:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
• :The problem is so many technical terms in medicine and computer science were redirected from ubiquitous to omnipresence.
• :Here is an example of the problem here on Wikipedia:

• ::I'm having some trouble following here. Is the idea that this should be a WP:DAB page for Ubiquitous computing and Omnipresence? (I'm not seeing any consistent usage of ubiquitous as a concept in medicine...) Even if future editors decide that's a good idea, I would delete this article and just expand Ubiquitous into a disambiguation page... or just redirect to Ubiquity.

• Comment The outcome of this discussion is relevant to the following redirect for discussion: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 25#Ubiquitous ; Suriname0 (talk) 17:20, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
• Delete per above discussion, To put a finer point in it, if it's just a definition and list of examples, then it violates DICDEF. Yet if it explores the impact and cultural examples of a word, then it's notable. I would not oppose a redirect. Bearian (talk) 20:40, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
