This subset of Unicode is not notable, and article lacks any citations. Jc3s5h (talk) 13:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- keep: The only 2 comments on International_System_of_Units Sep 2011 include "separate article" "deserves its own article or ...". Unicode is a fact of life and separating Unicode details from the main International_System_of_Units page makes good sense. The Unicode stub page does need a intro, more citations, maybe a rename from Unicode System of Units to the non-capitalised "Unicode system of units" and Wikification. Some details about when/how these derived SI units were included into the CJK characters is recommended. NevilleDNZ (talk) 23:46, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- Rename to Unit symbols in Unicode, and expand to include units besides SI. This is certainly encyclopedic, and has (potentially) particular utility in correlating Unicode codepoints and glyphs to encyclopedia entries about the units. Robert Hiller (talk) 23:53, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- An excellent summary of the issues may be found in Characters in SI notations. Robert Hiller (talk) 05:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete based on current content. Tables with no explanation of what they are supposed to be about are not helpful to encyclopedia users. The "keep" and "rename" recommendations above suggest that this content is meaningful to some people, but a few sentences of text to make it meaningful to many more people would make a big difference. For example, why would Unicode have a ㎏ symbol to represent the letters "kg"? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:09, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
