[edit] Nonabyte

What is this term?? Is it a real word?? Come on! It's only 2005 and no Internet site reveals "nona" is an official SI prefix. Georgia guy 19:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. SI prefix shows this is a proposed extension, which has not been aproved yet - and may never be. If and when this becomes official, it should be included in the appropriate table at SI prefix. Right now it does not deserve an article. For what it's worth, it gets 2,000 Google hits, while yottabyte, for the sake of comparison, gets 35,000. JoaoRicardo 19:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Notice too that the article on SI prefixes does not say who exactly proposed it. It could be a formal proposal in a queue for consideration somewhere, or it could be some random person suggesting it in a blog...
• Speedied as re-creation of material previously voted for deletion. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC). Now I have to see whether doggabyte has been re-created, too. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:57, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I can't at the moment find the VfD discussion, but the deletion log shows:

13:11, 13 Mar 2004 Tannin deleted "Talk:Doggabyte" (per VFD)

13:10, 13 Mar 2004 Tannin deleted "Talk:Nonabyte"

13:10, 13 Mar 2004 Tannin deleted "Doggabyte" (per VFD)

13:10, 13 Mar 2004 Tannin deleted "Nonabyte" (per VFD)

The VfD discussions to the best of my recollection centered not around the specific content of the article but around the fact that the words themselves were not verifiable as being in real use or as having been defined by any authority. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
