Talk:decimal without a zero

RFV discussion: January–February 2023
Google Scholar gives nothing for this term, and both Google Books and the Internet Archive give SOP-y quotes like "For doses that are less than one unit, use of a decimal without a zero to the left of the decimal ... has resulted in a 10-fold error," (Principles of Pharmacology for Athletic Trainers, Joel E. Houglum, 2005) and "[Egypt's] number system was decimal, without a zero or a place value system" (Encyclopedia Of Society And Culture In The Ancient World, ed. Peter Bogucki, 2008). Usenet (by that, I mean "Google Groups") has a quote from Wikipedia, "According to Wikipedia, this can make sense. There exists a nonstandard numeration system called "bijective numeration." ... "The bijective base-10 system is also known as decimal without a zero,", a SOP-y quote, "[The Romans] couldn't have decimal without a zero," and a lot of posts in Italian that mention "Giovanni Fraterno". Three citations, for all senses. (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Could you either put the formatted citations in the entry or submit the term to RfD? DCDuring (talk) 22:32, 15 January 2023 (UTC)


 * In terms of the gloss "Bijective numeration in base ten" only one of these citations is relevant and it's a mention so it's failing RFV atm (I couldn't turn up anything). —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:56, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

RFV Failed, and I don't think a Usenet poster quoting Wikipedia means anything. Ioaxxere (talk) 16:00, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
