Cent (unit) → ? – The current name is unsuitable due to the presence of Cent (music). Furthermore, a cent isn't really a "unit" (of measurement) any more than a half is. I just can't think of a good name, though. Any suggestions? BDD (talk) 21:07, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe just delete (i.e. redirect) the article per WP:NOTDICT. It's really not more than a couple of dictionary definitions strung together. The info can be incorporated into the cent disambiguation page like this:
Measurement
Cent is an informal name for 1⁄100 of a unit of measurement, as in "12 cents of an inch". Specifically, it can refer to:
- an alternative name for the point, a unit of mass for gemstones equal to 1⁄100 of a carat
- a unit of land area equal to 1⁄100 of a acre
Music
- Cent (music), a logarithmic measure of relative pitch or intervals
- I think that covers about all of the unique content in the article. — AjaxSmack 22:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with AjaxSmack. Red Slash 00:03, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Don't forget 1/100 dollar. I agree that putting the contents on a disambig page makes most cents. Dicklyon (talk) 04:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- 1/100 of a dollar is a unit of monetary measurement, and the most likely unit... no idea what this should be called though, unless it's just an overview of all units called "cent", in which case it can remain here. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 07:14, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Merging edit
With respect to BHG, consensus above seems pretty clear for AjaxSmack's solution. Per WP:NOTBURO and WP:BOLD, I'll carry it out. --BDD (talk) 17:23, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
