KiloKilo (disambiguation)Kilo should redirect to Kilogram as its lead says it's "often simply called a kilo colloquially". fgnievinski (talk) 21:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose The prefix has greater long-term significance. -- King of ♥ 00:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose People who say kilo for kilogram are well aware that it's a slangy clipping, and they won't type kilo into the search when they are looking for kilogram. Similarly, a well-written Wikipedia article won't use kilo where kilogram is meant. Indefatigable (talk) 00:36, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose No obvious primary topic between the prefix or unit of mass. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 03:35, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Kilo shows that most people click on the first two entries in the list, in that order, so it doesn't seem like there's much to do here. --Joy (talk) 08:05, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose – backwards logic for proposal: it would require that "kilo" most often refers to the kilogram (which is false). Even the assertion used has dubious validity, and should be removed. —Quondum 21:14, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
