[edit] Trillionaire

Is this a useful article?? How large does the magnitude of the money someone makes go?? Delete if no one can explain how practical this article can be. Georgia guy 00:40, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Dicdef. Could probably redirect to wealth or a list of rich people. -Sean Curtin 01:02, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
• 152.163.100.203 (talk • contribs) removed the {{Move to Wiktionary}} tag, that was on and that really should be on this article, given Wiktionary:billionaire. Put this article back in the Wiktionary queue, as it was before the anonymous user edited it. Uncle G 01:13, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
• A Dicdef that needs to be put Transwikied into Wiktionary. Zzyzx11 01:22, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Onto Wiktionary! Tygar 02:28, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Does wiktionary want words for things that don't exist? Few nations are even worth a trillion dollars, and certainly no people are. -R. fiend 02:38, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Becoming a trillionaire may be possible in the future, but for now the article seems unneccessary. Edited article. тəzєті
• Comment: Apparently Bill Gates is well on his way, only 20 years to go [1] (or 5 if things go well). He probably already is one if you use the right currency. Kappa 03:45, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This could be a useful article when Bill gets to be a trillionaire. 03:48, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The above unsigned vote was by Suffice. тəzєті
• Delete. The article in its present form doesn't provide any useful information and there isn't much that can be written other than a dictionary definition of the term. - NormanEinstein 04:39, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Since none exist yet, even a dicdef wouldn't be all that useful. Allowing this article to exist sets a bad precedent for quadrillionaire, quintillionaire, sextillionaire, etc. Android79 05:00, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete dicdef, imaginary subject. Gates's wealth in dollars has been decreasing steadily. I don't know where people get the idea that he's headed for trillionaire. Gazpacho 05:53, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Wiktionary or delete. Megan1967 07:15, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not worth the effort and delay involved in transwiki. wikt:Billionaire is a ridiculously better base to create wikt:trillionaire from than this. —Korath (Talk) 09:44, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for now - David Gerard 13:55, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, agree with Korath. DaveTheRed 19:17, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - agree with Korath. -- Cyrius|✎ 20:34, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete until some of them exist Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:37, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, dictionary definition at best. Re-create after hyperinflation. -- Curps 19:11, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. There are no trillionaires, and won't be for a long time to come. Even the richest person on the planet is hovering around $50 billion, which is 1/20th of a trillion. --BD2412 04:34, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• It's not at all difficult to be a trillionaire in some currencies. I'm thinking Turkish Lira here, where £1,000,000,000,000 = $760,000Tom k&e 09:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
