Gigasecond

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Similar to Megasecond, which is also nominated for deletion, this "article" consists of nothing but a short definition (which could easily be covered by Wiktionary) and then a long list of ridiculous trivia. The maximum lifespan of a cat in gigaseconds, a common retirement age (where?) in gigaseconds, the duration of the Ottoman Empire in gigaseconds, etc. It's utterly pointless.

 * Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This is one of many such compilations of arbitrary examples.  See Articles for deletion/1 metre. Andrew D. (talk) 09:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Second (unit) and merge any content that may be of use there. I see no need to delete. LjL (talk) 17:09, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Result here should be consistent with result at Articles for deletion/Megasecond due to similarity of the issue and articles. ~Kvng (talk) 02:03, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Second and merge any useful content to Time (Orders of magnitude). ~Kvng (talk) 02:03, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. This is a plausible redirect, and some of the conversion factors (with eg other units of time, durations of orbits etc) may be useful. James500 (talk) 05:43, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect- A redirect to Second is sensible, but the current content of the article is so terrible it should be deleted first to prevent any prospect of it being restored later. Reyk  YO!  08:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Second like the result of the AFD for megaseconds and add more prominent examples mentioned in the article to Time (Orders of magnitude). There is the gigasecond article on Units of Measurement Wiki, which I just expanded it from basically a definition page. Planet  Star  07:44, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
