 * Merge with Indefinite and fictitious large numbers. Hirohisat 22:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Indefinite and fictitious large numbers per User:Hirohisat|Hirohisat]]. May want to move Indefinite and fictitious large numbers to Indefinite and fictitious numbers as well (I note that Umpteen is presently suggested for merging to Indefinite and fictitious large numbers, but "umpteen" isn't necessarily very large). cab 00:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect, no merge. I looked carefully at the situation.  "Zillion" is covered already in the target article.  "Umpteen" has its very own article, for which a merge has been suggested to the target article.  Ergo, there is no content in the AFD article that needs to be preserved elsewhere.

 * Keep - this is a complicated situation that (mea culpa) is being handled with glacial slowness, I admit, but removing this page will complicate any solution. I believe that this article is the obvious place for such "fake" numbers, whether they be large (zillion) or not {umpteen) and perhaps there are others. I just have to get around to moving, rewriting, etc. (To be clearer, I want to redirect Umpteen and Indefinite and fictious large numbers (and therefore Zillion into this article, and have them all discussed here.) - DavidWBrooks 13:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Indefinite and fictitious large numbers into this. The title is actually more appropriate for the topic, as the 'good' article calls out 'large' numbers, while the title here seeks to address the more generic cases (although indefinite moderate-sized numbers don't quite come into play as often).  But we only need either one or the other. IL-Kuma 00:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge, Consider to move Indefinite and fictitious large numbers under title Indefinite numebers, or unspecified numbers, since the word "fictitious" is hardly allpicable here, because the term "number" is an abstract idea of quantity and measurement, so "numbers" are "fictitious" there is no real object "3": there is either "3 something" or "graphical representation of the quantity "three". And philosophically there is no difference between gazillion of apples and trillion of apples: "trillion of apples" just as a fictitious idea as gazillion of them.
