Isn't it just feel + up to? --Barytonesis (talk) 23:46, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, delete. Equinox ◑ 23:56, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. PseudoSkull (talk) 00:02, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Several dictionaries have entries for it. OTOH is|isn't|seems|doesn't seem up to (doing something) are pretty common too. DCDuring (talk) 22:03, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep with the help of Lemming heuristic, credited to DCD; in Collins and Macmillan. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:48, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- RFD kept: no consensus for deletion: 2:3 (keep:delete). --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep because of feel up which
(possibly incorrectly)corrected refers to feel up to. Removing this leads to confusion. W3ird N3rd (talk) 10:05, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

This was redirected without (so far as I can see) its own RFD or any other related discussion. It also went through RFD in 2017 and passed.
- Keep per the rationale added late at the prior discussion ... someone who's learned the idiomatic meaning of feel up might see feel up to and think it means something related, when it does not. Additionally there is a possible translation in Icelandic, nenna, which we could not add if we redirected this to up to. —Soap— 17:39, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- This rationale is silly, though. The usage notes you've added at feel up are perfectly sufficient to dispel any confusion, we don't need two entries for that. PUC – 09:13, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- I analyze this is as “to feel capable”, one of the senses of up to, that’s what “confidence” refers to. The difference between inclination and capability is in the end unreal, we recently merged overly fussy distinctions at up to. Wiktionary:Tea room/2023/August#up to. Delete or hard redirect. @PUC, but I see he redirected feel up to. So why is it less SOP than “feel confident”? Only because you want a usage note to say “Feel up to is broken down like feel + up to and unrelated to feel up. (grope someone in a sexual manner)”. Fay Freak (talk) 18:11, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, SOP of copulative feel + up to (a task). Compare:
- You say you feel better, but are you really better?
- You say you feel strong enough, but are you really strong enough?
- You say you feel up to it, but are you really up to it?
- Delete, SOP. PUC – 09:13, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
