clear case of SoP -- Liliana • 22:00, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
- You obviously didn't look to see whether there is an entry for n. z., (not to be confused with NZ). But maybe not applicable should be allowable as a common term. Donnanz (talk) 08:35, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
- It's common but nothing more than the sum of its parts. Green grass is a common term, too. Renard Migrant (talk) 11:18, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Donnanz: One could create the entry n. z. where it then could be "abbreviation of nicht zutreffend, but there's no need for the entry nicht zutreffend which is "SoP". 93.196.243.56 12:37, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep: present in translation dictionaries. google:"nicht zutreffend" dictionary finds dict.cc[1], and bab.la[2] (has two senses as translations); further in Wörterbuch der Schmierungstechnik, Wörterbuch Maschinenbau und Tribologie, Langenscheidt Dictionary Technology and Applied Sciences. In the role of N/A, I wonder whether "nicht anwendbar" is used as well. Furthermore, I find uses of "nicht zutreffend" as "not true" or "not the case", which are quite distinct from N/A, making the use of "nicht zutreffend" for "not applicable" rather unobvious; one might argue that it is just polysemy at the level of "zutreffend", though. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:43, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
