[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


centiampère (Dutch)

Unattested units. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:50, 12 March 2020 (UTC) {{look|nocat=1}} @Lambiam, Rua, DrJos, Thadh, Morgengave, Mnemosientje, MuDavid Do any of you object to the deletion of those entries? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 18:52, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

[1]: I know this isn't a durably archived source, but I think this is prove that centiseconde is in use. Thadh (talk) 19:07, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
This is a durably archived use of the plural centiseconden. One use is not enough for our CFI. I’m afraid I do not really care. On one hand, if no three cites can be found now, it is predictable that more uses of these SI units will eventually appear in books and journals. On the other hand, these compounds are completely transparent; as long as we do not even have entries for much more common compounds such as stormwaarschuwing, why care?  --Lambiam 21:58, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Here is another one, so centiseconde at least looks promising. This article might have a third independent use, but it is paywalled. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 18:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
It's not necessary to check the paywalled article, there are other cites here, on file page 31, original page 49. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 19:17, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I agree: just like "yottaseconde" it is a unit that could be used. Otherwise you should strictly adhere to the three cites rule for every lemma. Yottaseconde has a French lemma so why not a Dutch? --DrJos (talk) 08:32, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
That reasoning could justify thousands of unattested derived SI units. It clearly is not a workable standard for an empirical, descriptive dictionary. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 18:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
My opinion: these units (and the ones with zepto/zetta/yocto/yotta above) obviously exist: they are SoP and can therefore be used whenever the need arises. Most of them probably see little to no use though, and as they are SoP I won't lose any sleep over their deletion. MuDavid 栘𩿠 (talk) 07:10, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
