zebibit, yobibit, exbibit

For what it's worth, all three have Wikipedia articles. w:Zebibit, w:Yobibit, w:Exbibit. bd2412 T 16:13, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

I have added two quotes for zebibit and one for yobibit - I saw some others as well, but for some reason when I went back, those books were no longer listed by Google books. Exbibit is much harder to search for because of all the scannos of exhibit. In any case, it is pretty clear that zebibyte, yobibyte and exbibyte are far more common when you are looking at these magnitudes. Kiwima (talk) 23:45, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

zebibit is cited. The other two still need more. Kiwima (talk) 20:33, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

zebibit is RFV-passed. The other two are still waiting for sufficient cites. Kiwima (talk) 01:14, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Found a cite for "yobibit" on Usenet:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/yobibit/uk.comp.sys.mac/jr9k-Z7HKqI/YMEBUP5QhsMJ

"I'm waiting for yobibit Ethernet meself, then I'm going to start an internet chat business in Norway called Yibit NoBit He Said You Said." Khemehekis (talk) 18:20, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Ha-ha. Thanks. yobibit is now Cited. Only exbibit remains. Kiwima (talk) 10:25, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

You're welcome. Glad to get that one down. But it's going to be hard to find good cites for "exbibit" with all those scannos for "exhibit". Khemehekis (talk) 01:07, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Indeed. I managed to find two, but we still need a third. Kiwima (talk) 04:09, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

yobibit is passed. Still need another cite for exbibit Kiwima (talk) 10:31, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

I found a website that refers to an exbibit – will that do? If so, then all the terms have passed. — SGconlaw (talk) 16:34, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Unstriking. A non-durably-archived quotation is obviously not good enough. Moreover, the other two quotations of exbibit are mentions. —Granger (talk · contribs) 20:49, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

And unstriking zebibit and yobibit as well—the "Networking Self-Teaching Guide" quotations look like mentions for those too, and as far as I know, uk.comp.sys.mac is part of the non-Usenet portion of Google Groups. It looks to me like we need one more quotation for zebibit, two for yobibit, and three for exbibit. —Granger (talk · contribs) 20:53, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

In that case exbibit is deleted as I did a search and could not find any other quotations. — SGconlaw (talk) 15:36, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Two more cites for "yobibit"? Both the 2006 and 2013 cites are uses rather than mentions. Khemehekis (talk) 01:13, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Yes, but as far as I can tell the 2006 cite doesn't seem to be durably archived because it isn't Usenet. —Granger (talk · contribs) 01:17, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Hmmmmm. Is there an accurate way to tell what's Usenet and what isn't? Khemehekis (talk) 02:01, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

I think I read somewhere that these nine hierarchies are Usenet and everything else isn't, but I may be wrong. —Granger (talk · contribs) 02:05, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

I refer to w:Usenet#Organization. Limiting Usenet to the Big Eight (minus alt.) or the Big Nine is apparently not unprecedented, but at least historically, stuff like uk. and other smaller hierarchies would have looked exactly like the Big Nine to most users.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:55, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

RFV-failed. I guess these are just too rare to meet WFI. Kiwima (talk) 03:45, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
