dynamic IP address

I'm not sure, but to me it is an IP address that is dynamic. -- Liliana • 21:12, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

keep, if attested the use of "dynamic" makes this a highly technical term, non-compsci majors/geeks would unlikely understand.71.142.73.25 08:24, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Delete. Cf. polymorphic constructor, petroleum hydrocarbon. A phrase made up of two bits of specialist jargon can still be NISoP. Looking up two words won't kill anyone. Equinox ◑ 09:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Keep. Not obvious from the several meanings of dynamic.--Dmol 09:47, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Could be SOP, but I think we need a new meaning of dynamic, something like "(computing) Dynamically assigned; subject to change or reconfiguration". 81.142.107.230 10:50, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Yup. IP addresses are by far not the only thing that can be dynamic, check out w:Special:Prefixindex/dynamic to see a whole bunch of dynamic things in the computer world. -- Liliana • 12:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Delete if we have a good definition of dynamic. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Keep. Dynamic is not merely an adjective, a "dynamic IP address" is itself a technical term which merits a separate entry. Arielkoiman (talk) 09:38, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Kept as no consensus. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 21:08, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
