Talk:1000000
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
It seems to me that it would be a good idea to redirect 1000000 to million because it's a plausible and unambiguous search term for an NSOP word. However I know that a great deal of thought has gone into the deletion of redirects to NSOP words in English, possibly related to their near-infinite number, so if you wouldn't mind I'd like you to explain Barney-style why the harm of these redirects outweighs any possible benefit of people being able to find what they were looking for.

- I think you should read the previous discussions about it rather than asking us to rehearse it all again for you. As noted elsewhere, searching for 1000000 already finds million as the first search result, so users will not be harmed. Equinox ◑ 21:49, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Ok let me go look. I guess this is only tangentially related but the first search result for 1,000,000 appears to be

- OK sorry I can't find the previous discussions and I'm not sure how to look. Can you give me a clue? Btw I did find seven hundred and fifty you might want to delete that. Siuenti (talk) 22:42, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

- The plot thickens... now I get a different search result for 1,000,000 which looks like User:Siuenti/1,000,000 Siuenti (talk) 23:36, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- I wonder why the discussion to delete 1000000 and 1000000000 (which Equinox tells me totally did happen and I believe him implicitly) didn't link to those entries. These are the smallest members of the set I believe, and people typically link to examples in deletion discussions. Maybe they just didn't in this case. Anyway although I haven't still found this discussion, which totally totally does exist, because Equinox is not the kind of person who would send people on a wild goose chase due to not having a clue what he is doing, I will keep on searching and eventually, without doubt, I will find it. Or the people at the help desk where I asked in good faith will find it for me. Siuenti (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- I have deleted the redirect that was created. Either it deserves a full entry, or it deserves no entry. A redirect misleadingly implies that only English and the few other languages at the entry for million use this number. --WikiTiki89 17:11, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Restore: We obviously don't need an entry for every possible number, but this is one that I believe an entry is acceptable for. Purplebackpack89 17:52, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- So how about an entry like the one for 1000 ? Siuenti (talk) 01:11, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- The term has been deleted, so I guess the matter is resolved for now. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
