zettalitre[edit]

Likely not attestable, if so replace with {{only in|{{in appendix|SI units}}}}. -- Liliana • 03:35, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we agreed that would be the default position for these SI units. All of them should redirect to the appendix unless attestation is provided. bd2412 T 03:41, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If unattested, yes. Let's give it a chance. --Mglovesfun (talk) 08:35, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think we can afford to be tighter with these terms because we have the appendix. Someone looking up almost any SI prefix/unit combination will be taken to the appendix, which explains what all the prefix names and unit names mean, so the definition they seek will be provided. Therefore, we lose no information by requiring CFI-worthy attestation before allowing the existence of the individual entry. bd2412 T 17:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found no usable hits for zettalitre and only one for zettaliter. - -sche (discuss) 09:04, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RFV failed. I've replaced the contents of [[zettalitre]], [[zettaliter]], [[Zl]], [[zettalitres]], and [[zettaliters]] with {{only in|{{in appendix|SI units}}}}. Though I'm not very happy about it, since liter isn't actually an SI unit, and Appendix:SI units doesn't really explain it! —Ruakh_TALK 21:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Quite right. However, since (as the wikipedia article indicates) SI prefixes are commonly used with liters, we could add language to the appendix indicating as much. bd2412 T 21:41, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
