Review (criteria)	Support impressive count of use in Wikipeda, and I think, the only photo of this kind in category (hard to check) --J. Lunau (talk) 18:50, 21 September 2015 (UTC)  Comment unfortunately, I miss the liter...--Jebulon (talk) 17:44, 21 September 2015 (UTC)  Support I also think that for everyday applications a litre of something would be more important than the multimeter (even though it is a derived unit based on the metre). Nevertheless, it's useful and as far as I can tell it's the best we currently have. BTW: Can anyone come up with an idea on how to depict all of the SI base units in one arrangement? --El Grafo (talk) 10:02, 22 September 2015 (UTC)  Oppose Fails criterion 3 : Does not depict the subject well, as said above, we miss an "everyday measuring tool" in metric units for liquids.--Jebulon (talk) 09:14, 23 September 2015 (UTC)  Oppose per Jebulon --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:05, 24 September 2015 (UTC)  Comment @Jebulon: , @Archaeodontosaurus: May I draw to attention an number of points: The scope used the word "everyday", not "domestic". Multimeters are used by many tradesmen, not just electricians, making it then "everyday" instruments. The article en:metric system catalogues over 30 quantities that are expressed using coherent metric (SI or CGS) units. This "collection" only shows a selection of instruments and make no attempt to show a full set. The litre is not in the list of units mentioned above, but is a "Non-SI units accepted for use with the International System of Units" (See Table 6 here).
