article could mention that this is the derived unit for density given its choice of base units, but that's a single sentence at most, and possibly not even worth saying on account of being an obvious deduction from the table there. Nothing is clarified by having a stand-alone article dedicated to a

Internally, UCUM software uses a meter-gram-second basis for encoding units from various systems of measurement, so that it knows how to convert units from one system to another. There are no specific "UCUM derived units" (see

I fundamentally disagree that the notability of THIS unit hinges on the notability of UCUM. Composite units should stand or fall on their own notability, not just their inclusion in a system. At best, this should just be included in the article on UCUM itself, but even that strikes me as dubious.
