[edit] Square root day

With just 43 non-wikipedia Google hits, I'm not sure this is really notable enough. GeorgeStepanek\talk 22:58, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You get 115 hits when you remove the celebrate or celebrated part. Check it out. Coruscus\talk

Yes, but some of the references aren't relevant, e.g. "The volatility units are % per square-root day." Still, even 115 isn't very many, and Google shows only 46 that aren't duplicates. GeorgeStepanek\talk 23:46, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Please cite notable references other than Google. Zzyzx11 23:51, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Seems local to that teacher in Redwood city. Maybe if it caught on nationally. DaveTheRed 20:24, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I talked about it with my math teacher today. He celebrates. Plus, it's not like it can take up very much disk space to leave it on. Maybe we can mark it as a stub and ask for improvement. Coruscus\talk
    • Hi Coruscus, welcome to wikipedia. You'll need to build a bit more of an edit history if you want your votes to be fully counted. Kappa 00:42, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
