Original speculation; neologistic usage, see google. Many things are named with number in their name, but I don't see any research of significance of this phenomenon. At least not under the title of this expression, "numeric metaphor". Staszek Lem (talk) 00:49, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, original speculation, no sources. Many things have number in their name but that doesn't make them special. JIP | Talk 05:33, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Cool concept, but not noted by secondary sources. Also do not seem to really be metaphors. Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:03, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
