Trillionaire
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This short article manages to combine speculation and factual error. Speculation because no one has been a trillionaire in US dollars, British pounds or Euros. Factual error because not "everyone" in Zimbabwe owns money (infants, the feeble-minded and convicts come to mind as exceptions). That most Zimbabweans were trillionaires is interesting, but a) essentially meaningless, given how little value their currency had and b) hardly unique, as seen at Hyperinflation. Moreover, there's a link to a deleted article, and this word has an entry in the Wiktionary, which is where it really belongs. Biruitorul Talk 03:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment there should be some Japanese trillionaires... 100yen to the US dollar approximately for much of the last decade. 76.66.196.218 (talk) 06:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - nothing has changed since the last AfD. Other -illionaires redirect to millionaire so that would seem sensible here. Bigbluefish (talk) 14:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to millionaire - neologism. The Junk Police (reports|works) 01:38, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the Police, if there really are trillionaires it might be a reasonable search term, and "millionaire" would be the best target. Nyttend (talk) 12:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - If nothing has changed since last Afd then it should be kept. But more importantly, what the article says is true, most Zimbabweans were trillionairs, and most ionairs articles state that its in some currency usually in US $, Euros, pounds but that doesn't mean it has to be.Pubuman (talk) 13:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The last AfD resulted in a delete. This is "recreation of deleted material", and by the way there is only one other "-ionaires" article, which is the one where there is something thoughtful to say about the subject. Bigbluefish (talk) 21:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I was going to say move to Wiktionary, but it's already there. Unless there are reliable references discussing this in a non-trivial manner, it doesn't qualify for an encyclopedia article.  There is probably discussion of Zimbabwean inflation in other articles. Drawn Some (talk) 03:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment articles on everything - Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe. --Ouro (blah blah) 06:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Since they are no Trillionares in the World, this page is pretty useless. Webster6 Yo, So 19:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inherently a dictionary term, and I don't think anything encyclopedic will be found to justify an article. -FrankTobia (talk) 16:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. This article should be replaced by a redirect to billionaire, which is slightly more reasonable. At some point, another factor of 1,000 just doesn't make a difference any more. Technically this is probably a "keep" vote, but the point is that the article as such shouldn't exist. --Hans Adler (talk) 10:33, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. The article has no real purpose in Wikipedia until someone owns $1 trillion dollars or euros. &mdash;Terrence and Phillip 02:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
