A merge makes sense. Is the final article called redundant code or dead code? We could call it Has no effect on the output code ;-) Derek farn 09:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vis-a-vis standard and published definitions of dead code, redundant code, and unreachable code,^[1]^[2] I have updated and changed the articles for dead code, redundant code, and unreachable code. --Dorchard (talk) 22:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should not exist

This article should not exist. It is just an adjective before a notable term (ABNT). Redundant code is simply code that is redundant ... in the usual meaning of the word redundant. Stevebroshar (talk) 17:05, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
