Decimal superbase

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Long standing unreferenced tag and search did not produce any independent usage of the term. Article title is apparently a neologism. Delete per WP notability and OR criteria. RDBury (talk) 06:07, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Zero hits on Google News, Books or Scholar indicates lack of notability, and together with lack of references suggests original research. --Qwfp (talk) 08:24, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - clearly OR. --Paul Carpenter (talk) 12:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, although the name is probably OR. - There's original research here, but the linguistic discussion of the short and long scales, myriads, lakh/crore, the Knuth -yllion system, seems a reasonable topic of discussion. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 07:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Question. Is there a suitable merge target or move target that might eliminate the neologism objection?  A source that addresses these topics or similar would be helpful in assessing what to do, but I can't seem to find anything suitable (which is not to say that such sources do not exist, just that it seems to be a difficult topic on which to get useful information out of google).
