Tagged for notability since 2010. Nearly unsourced neologism. Fails WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:01, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Keep or merge to hard coding. This is a real topic likely notable, as evidenced by RS articles [1] and [2] and a chapter in an O'Reilly book [3]. hard coding is an obvious merge/redirect target. I don't see why this was posted to AfD; there is no solid rationale for deletion. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:36, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to Hard coding. That is the actual notable concept, softcoding is a little-known neologism always defined in opposition to hardcoding. Tercer (talk) 12:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
