Delete, unless there's (a) translation(s) from (an)other language(s) that's/that are not sum of parts. Shoof 02:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Keep. It's idiomatic (note that "sum of parts" is a weak argument for deletion - see WT:CFI - we should be considering idiomaticity instead); compare road user. This is a well-established term in widespread current use as the preferred term for a person without use of their legs who relies on a wheelchair in order to move around. The meaning is not self-evident: it could be taken to mean (but does not, of course) a person who uses a wheelchair to transport their shopping home in; as a winch; in a juggling act; or just as an ordinary chair. — Paul G 20:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
So it passes the fried egg test. Keep. DAVilla 21:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Keep. I agree with Paul G. I'll modify the article to emphasize the disability.Barbara Shack 11:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Keep per above.--Jusjih 12:10, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


Injured or disabled[edit]

Couldn't you be a "wheelchair user" even if you weren't those things? Equinox 23:33, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
