Foreign languages[edit]

I have twice reverted the inclusion of a section on regional variations of the word "million" because this simply does not belong on this page. There are thousands of languages and dialects, each of which has its own version of this word. Are we supposed to list them all? If not, who is to decide which languages are notable enough for inclusion? Language links can be found on the left of the page, so there is no need to include this information in the article. See MOS:FOREIGN. --Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 18:38, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In crore, Lakhs, etc articles the same was included. I just follow that method. It is included under a specific heading. So there should not be any confusion for people who are checking other information. If someone require that information they will check it, others will omit. Wikipedia is an informative page. It is better to include all possible information in one page for peoples (all over the world) who are searching doubts. സജീഷ് ജെ എസ്സ് 04:39, 3 November 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sajeeshjs (talk • contribs)

These other pages are about non-English terms that have a connection to monetary units used in the region. As such there is some (although in my opinion a weak) reason to include the regional variants. The same can not be said for this page. Wikipedia is not just an assortment of unrelated facts, there needs to be a reason to include items. See WP:NOTCATALOG.--Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 16:21, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Million → 1000000 (number) – Consistency with other number articles. Bobby Jacobs (talk) 12:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If moved, then 1,000,000 (number) would be better, to make it more readable. Lugnuts ^{Precious bodily fluids} 18:42, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving this page. Bobby Jacobs (talk) 20:34, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What about billion? Laurdecl ^talk 08:24, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- There is already a separate article at 1,000,000,000. It covers the number while billion covers the term. Reidgreg (talk) 16:56, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per the example cited by Laurdecl. Also, I think the proposed new title would be more confusing and less reader-friendly. Lepricavark (talk) 13:40, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support with commas per Lugnuts. See Talk:10,000,000#Requested move 24 February 2017 which unanimously passed. Reidgreg (talk) 16:56, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Move to 1,000,000 (without the unnecessary disambiguator) per nom. Ppp ery 13:59, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
