If possible, let's add {{qualifier}}s or split the translations based on which kind of desk they're referring to. - -sche (discuss) 15:13, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Inappropriate and misleading title; “teacher's desk” is not in a classroom by default. Either define it clearly in the title (as a translations-only entry should), or convert it into a non-translations-only entry for it to be kept. Wyang (talk) 15:26, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Personally, I believe that this entry is a WT:SOP, as the definition is simply "a desk that belongs to a teacher". EhSayer (talk) 23:55, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
It is. However, the entry is supposed to be for translations. —Suzukaze-c 00:04, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's not what the def says. Equinox 00:05, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Translation hubs are subject to slightly different rules of inclusion--reference WT:THUB. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 00:07, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Keep. This is not a desk that belongs to a teacher or even one necessarily assigned to a particular teacher. It is a feature of a classroom. It isn't necessarily even a desk. bd2412 T 02:24, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Do you mean this is not a translations-only entry? At the moment it is saying a "teacher's desk" is literally a desk used by a teacher in a classroom (which it isn't), with no idiomaticity of the phrase. Wyang (talk) 06:18, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
If it literally isn't, then it is idiomatic. bd2412 T 16:36, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Kept. AFAICT there's either a two-thirds majority consensus for keeping, or at worst no consensus for deletion, which entails keeping. The "translation hub" template may be removed if the entry is felt to be outright idiomatic. - -sche (discuss) 16:09, 8 August 2018 (UTC)Reply


Picture

[edit]

The first picture is strange. The desk seems to be in the left rear corner of the classroom, which is rather unusual for a teacher's desk, which is expected to be in the middle and, most importantly, in the front. 77.11.186.115 22:04, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
