Unverifiable, probably nonsense. There is an external link to a website but it does not mention the prefix. --Snigbrook (talk) 20:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:RS and WP:V. The external link does not mention the prefix 'Theta-'. Best, Happyme22 (talk) 21:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I checked the HTML version of The NIST Reference on Constants, Units and Uncertainty, and I saw no mention of the theta- prefix. I also checked the NIST Guide for the Use of the International System of Units, and used the "find" function in my browser, and the only mention of "theta" that I found was in connection with the Greek letter; however, this source appears to be a style manual for internal use within the NIST, and as such, contains material that may differ from common usage outside the U.S. government [for example, "it is unacceptable to use kilo (k) to represent 210 = 1024, mega (M) to represent 220 = 1 048 576, or giga (G) to represent 230 = 1 073 741 824." (The NIST Reference on Constants, Units and Uncertainty use less-strong "should not" verbiage).] Bwrs (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Not mentioned on SI prefix either, even as one of the proposed extensions. Zetawoof(ζ) 22:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete is thetibit real? JuJube (talk) 02:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't look any more real than thetabit or thetabyte. Zetawoof(ζ) 03:12, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Should be AfD'd then, shouldn't it? I'd do it but I'm unfamiliar with the terms. JuJube (talk) 03:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thetabit. No point in creating yet another discussion for what's effectively the same deletion. Zetawoof(ζ) 03:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
