"In my opinion", this is SOP, because you can also say in my view, in my worldview, in my perspective, in my outlook on life, etc. where "in" is being used in the same way. PseudoSkull (talk) 17:43, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I am more lenient to arguments for this phrase being set, however, because you wouldn't say something like "in my opinion on this topic, ..."; it's normally just said alone, while the below phrase being RFD'd (which I didn't realize was an entry until I saw it as a blue link) can be modified in this way.

Good for phrasebook at least. Equinox 23:14, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. Keep but move to phrasebook. In many languages, this is expressed using a phrase that isn't a direct translation. For instance, in French one might say "selon/d'après moi" (according to me). Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:26, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Comment. If the challenged entries are kept,they should be moved (with adjustments) to in someone's opinion[1][2][3] and in someone's view.[4][5][6] Note that we also have entries for in my honest opinion and in my humble opinion, which have complex, fully identical {{non-gloss definition}}s, where I doubt whether people using these phrases actually mean what these definitions proclaim.  --Lambiam 12:02, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
