get to the point

• Keep this one, as a set phrase. I can't even think of the comparable substitute verb, but something like "proceed to the point" would seem wrong. bd2412 T 01:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
• Keep. Why are we trying to make our dictionary pitiful? How is this even a candidate for deletion? -- Dentonius (my politics | talk) 10:31, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

  Vote is stricken, though it doesn't change the end result of the vote. Imetsia (talk) 16:47, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hard-redirect to to the point; unless get to the point is older than to the point, then it should be kept per the jiffy criterion. However, this appears to predate most idiomatic results for get to the point by about 40 to 50 years. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 11:01, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Lemmings say keep. See “get to the point”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. DCDuring (talk) 23:46, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
