Up truncation

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While the cited reference does indicate that the truncate function may be used to expand the size of a file, no source is given, nor can one be found, to indicate that the term "up truncation" is used to describe this action, nor to indicate that performing this action has any given reason or benefit. As such, the description of the action here appears to be original research. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:03, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Down truncate to zero bytes per nom. No hits whatsoever for this term other than this article. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:05, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Search hits shows that any usage are almost exclusively coincidental: either from a hyphenated adjective or phrasal verb before it (e.g. "look up truncation", "follow-up truncation"), or just from a completely different clause/sentence separated by punctuation. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 07:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: no evidence of this term being used for the task described. If there is a term that has the same definition as "up truncation", then possibly move the article to that term and assess it for notability. Esquivalience ^t 01:27, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
