Anyone object to me writing a pronunciation section for this word? Kevin E Hawkins ( talk) 18:21, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
i'm tagging this for merge into Variable (computing) Aunva6 ( talk) 21:47, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
this subject is not comprehensive/notable enough to warrant its own article Aunva6 ( talk) 21:50, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. I don't think there's much to merge either. CharmlessCoin ( talk) 03:48, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
I agree as well, it's simply a subset of variable types so it would make sense to redirect to a section of the Variable (computer science) page. This would also make comparison with other variable types more convenient. Alanaktion ( talk) 18:54, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
I searched for "scalar" on the variable page and didn't find it. I still had no idea what a scalar was until I followed the link to the old article kindly provided above. I agree that this merge was an error, especially considering that scalars are NOT a subset of variables. Please revert the redirect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.2.124.12 ( talk) 07:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
I had the same experience as above, searching for scalar, not finding it and then finding the old link here. The old scalar article mentions "Generally, all basic primitive data types are considered scalar". So perhaps change the redirect to point at primitive data types and add a little blurb there about the scalar term as well ? Maben101 ( talk) 17:28, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
JalenFolf, as above, this article was never merged anywhere, making this redirect very unhelpful and misleading. It should be reinstated until someone actually merges the content somewhere. This content does not fit as a section on the Variable article nor does it fit on the Primitive data type page. 81.40.73.148 ( talk) 20:20, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
