The content of Deca- (prefix) was merged into Deca- on 26 April 2024. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Currently, Wikipedia has the following articles:

• Deca - the SI prefix for 10
• Deca- - the numerical prefix for 10
• Deca (slang) - the slang term
• DECA- Distributive Education Clubs of America

Do any registered Wikipedians suggest any page moves?? 66.32.251.248 22:32, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Personally, I would favour merging the numerical and SI articles, if this can be done carefully. However, I would wish to distance both these articles from street slang article. Ian Cairns 22:36, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

My son's Algebra 1 text has dkl for decalitre. It might be worth including a mention of abbreviations with that as an example, but if so I'm not sure where to put it in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobEnyart (talk • contribs) 14:15, 4 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

This doesn't seem to be a disambig page to me - it's an article discussing "Deca". Can I remove the {{disambig}}?

Removed. If there are more alternative meanings added, a separate deca/deka (disambiguation) should be created, with only one disambiguation link here. Also removed the dictionary definitions for the numerical prefix, which belong elsewhere. The remaining definitions overlap enough not to justify separate articles.

How many people realy use the symbol "D" to represent deca. I like this idea. — Hurricane Devon (Talk) 17:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Question back at you, does anyone acutally use deca, it seems much easier just to put another "0" on the end?--Commander Keane 14:31, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Decagrams are the normal (spoken) way to buy things like cheese, ham, salami etc. over a counter in Slovakia. On paper they use grams though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.36.193 (talk) 20:31, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

dekatherms is common usage for Natural Gas volumes where 1,000 cubic feet (1 Mcf) = 1 dekatherm (10 therms). (Philbert) 2605:A000:1407:8021:1969:BD73:88F4:989B (talk) 12:31, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

It exists, but I don't know how common it is. There are some parts of the US where the suppliers bill like that, but I don't know if there is any usage outside the US at all. Rwessel (talk) 22:33, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

"adopted by France in 1795" - can somebody provide a cite? I've also found 1793 on the net. Femto 14:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Deca- (prefix) deals with the historical and non-SI aspects of Deca-, while Deca- deals with the SI aspect of Deca-. This is unique because all other metric prefixes share a common article for all use cases, SI and otherwise. Further, neither Deca- nor Deca- (prefix) is so large that separate article would make sense. Therefore, I propose to merge both the articles. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 15:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
