Is this unit used anywhere? I can't find any uses. -- Prince Kassad 06:23, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * These are components of the International System of Units, the official nomenclature of units (and their abbreviations) that has been adopted by the entire world, save the U.S. and a handful of fairly small countries. It seems absurd to me that we would not report on words and symbols for which the entire world had agreed on a meaning, especially since the inclusion of those that are used would leave a patchwork grid full of holes if we exclude the ones that we know to exist, but for which citations can not be found. bd2412 T 15:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be a Beer Parlor matter. We don't actually make any special exception in WT:CFI for such terms. Other examples are taxonomic names, chemical names, which we include and don't challenge as a matter of practice. But this practice is sanctioned only by a consensus. The consensus of accepting international standards bodies decisions was brought into question in the area of ISO codes, though not in the area of inclusion as a headword. Perhaps the CFI relevance of international standards bodies is worth a discussion there.
 * Otherwise I would think that RfV applies. DCDuring TALK 16:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, moved to RFD. —Ruakh TALK 18:56, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletion debate
Failed RFV. Was discussed at Beer parlour archive/2009/September. —Ruakh TALK 18:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * In light of the broad list of entries to which this objection applies, I have initiated a vote to exempt the entire class from the CFI at Votes/2009-12/Proposed CFI exception for SI Units. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
