[edit] Names of large numbers

We already have an article on large numbers. This is mainly a redundant article as the names and values of large numbers can already be explained in the large numbers article. Voortle 18:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to large numbers, will improve our search engine's results and do no harm. -- nae'blis _(talk) 18:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep large numbers does not explain what this page does, the content is too vast to merge. Important article which has been directly usefull to me when searching for the names of large numbers. HighInBC 18:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to large numbers. Michael 18:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect — The articles are not identical, and I'd like to see the useful information preserved. — RJH (talk) 18:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I seem to recal that Names of large numbers was created to try to keep large numbers farily clean. p.s. see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Bowers where another set of large number names is up for deletion. --Salix alba (talk) 19:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A merge is possible, but Large numbers may be too large :-P. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the way it is. This will prevent a large number of individual large numbers articles. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep a merge would be messy. 132.205.45.148 22:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep mathematics distinct from etymology. Spacepotato 23:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I agree with the previous remark: the names article is unique to English history but the other article is suitable for translation into other languages. CMummert 20:01, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have found it useful to have two article differentiating between the concept of large numbers in conjunction with an article that actually names / describes them. At best, merge these articles but do not delete this one. --Japauley3 02:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge I think a merge would be nice. -- Patricknoddy 2:54pm July 17, 2006 (EDT)
• Speedy keep -- surely this must qualify for some speedy-keep criterion? linas 15:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, mathematical nomenclature is surely important and encyclopedic. --Cyde↔Weys 20:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or merge, without actually deleting any of the information. However, I'd prefer simply to keep the article for aesthetic reasons. Your one true god is David P. A. Hunter, esq. III ^{Talk to me!} 07:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
