Many of the entries in Category:Italian cardinal numbers and Category:Italian ordinal numbers

Surely we don't need entries like cinquecentocinquantasette ("five-hundred and fifty-seven"). But I can't find in the CFI meaningful guidance about where we should draw the line. Nor did I want to nominate hundreds of similar entries to RFD. To begin with, I propose that we at least delete all the entries in the form of "x-hundred and y" (and the ordinal counterparts) and "x-thousand and y." Imetsia (talk) 01:30, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Delete - I believe we allow 0-99. Languageseeker (talk) 02:30, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

• Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion#Numbers, numerals, and ordinals excludes "Numbers, numerals, and ordinals over 100 that are not single words" (emphasis added), but cinquecentocinquantasette is a single word. If we want to exclude single-word numbers we need to rewrite CFI. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

  And note that we have twice voted to keep German neuntausendneunhundertneunundneunzig. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:19, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Keep all such single word entries. SemperBlotto (talk) 07:40, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Delete, we should only accept numbers between 0-99, hundreds, thousands, millions and the such, unless it is irregularly constructed. — فين أخاي ^{(تكلم معاي · ما ساهمت)} 07:48, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Delete, and update our CFI policy so that its spirit applies to concatenative languages. The intent of the policy, as I understand it, is that most large numbers having no idiomatic sense are constructed in predictable ways so listing them separately is SoP and there can be no end to them. — SGconlaw (talk) 11:45, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Would you like to update our "main page" - where it says "It aims to describe all words of all language". SemperBlotto (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
