A coined prefix by a Wikipedia user who was excited to create this article. Georgia guy (talk) 18:31, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Wait: Only transmitting informations from Googology Wikia and a presumed leaker. I think it is better to wait before having confirmations. ExplosionRadiative 2.0 (talk) 18:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

- Delete Brief mention here: Talk:Metric_prefix#xera (has 1 source, a dead link, doesn't seem promising) The only source in the article is [1] which describes it as being used in a new york times hoax and as a "leaked official prefix". How can a prefix be 'leaked'? The prefixes are international standards, if they aren't publicly known they don't exist. A search at the General Conference on Weights and Measures website has 0 results, I'm calling BS. Disclosure: I have removed a link to Xera from Yotta- which was added at this diff here ― Padenton|✉ 19:36, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:NEO. Not the subject of significant secondary coverage in reliable sources. Wikis are not acceptable sources, and neither are things some guy told you late at night in a bar. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:35, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Borderline WP:CSD#A11 speedy as obviously made-up. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Made up or otherwise, it does not seem to have any coverage in any reliable source that I can find. If it does come into use, well, there is no deadline. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:17, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete, it is a neologism. Spumuq (talq) 14:23, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
