I changed the now undefined "European" to "non-English"[1], but please see Talk:Billion. -Wikibob | Talk 11:41, 2004 Jul 21 (UTC)

Do you support or oppose merging this with Names of large numbers?

Oppose. Most links to Trillion in Wikipedia want information about the actual number, not the name. This article mentions things that Names of large numbers does not and cannot mention. Merging it leads to bad consequences such as 10^12 redirecting to Names of large numbers when it isn't a name at all. Voortle 15:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Oppose. This helps define the meaning(s) of trillion very clearly and obviously. Names of large numbers, by definition, lists loads of names, most obscure and unused, and of minor, if any, interest to a person looking for a definition of trillion. This page also links in with the long and short scales page. Further, trillion is also a VERY common word, and is notable enough to need its own page. The Yeti 02:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I reverted this article to the last version by Arthur and Voortle, before the latest sockpuppet of User:Science3456 started to mess with it. Arguments for redirect would be that the current article doesn't give much information, none of which could be mentioned in Names of large numbers either and the fact that larger numbers (e.g. septillion) redirect there as well. An argument against would be that is currently gives two alternative meanings/usages of the word trillion. —Ruud 22:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
