Silent Sam's version has a lot of unneeded drivel dravel. Previous version was simplistic enough. 66.175.205.69 15:57, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
- Citations (especially when formatted correctly) aren't meaningless drivel. --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:44, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

- Keep - certainly not SOP. --Wonderfool early February 2019 (talk) 09:22, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- How so? Saying it doesn't make it so. Per utramque cavernam 17:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - certainly not SOP. --Wonderfool early February 2019 (talk) 09:22, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. What is the value, purpose, importance, point or significance of life? Or, for short, ... --Lambiam 15:50, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: I am not entirely convinced it is SOP. Moreover, a word-for-word translation does not work well for Czech; it would be význam života but the usual term is smysl života. Starting from Czech smysl života, I would expect sense of life to be the English term, but meaning of life seems more common: sense of life, meaning of life at Google Ngram Viewer, and the search includes such occurrences as "make sense of life", which do not really count. An argument similar to Czech can probably be made for other Slavic languages. Therefore, the entry contains useful translation information, and makes English Wiktionary better, more useful as a multilingual translation dictionary. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:08, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Probably SoP but useful as a translation hub. ---> Tooironic (talk) 08:17, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep, like human condition this one carries more meaning than the sum of parts. - TheDaveRoss 02:53, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
