[edit] 1707 in archaeology

This page is quite possibly the definition of useless. It contains only one entry and, even if it contained 100, wouldn't serve a purpose not already served by 1707. At the very least, this should be redirected to 1707 but deletion is probably a better route. -Soltak 21:32, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Stubby, but a valid topic capable of expansion. -- Infrogmation 19:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I disagree. An article like "Important Dates in Archaeology" is valid, however, breaking each year down is certainly not. -Soltak 22:12, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. One event in a year's archaeology does not justify a list of that year's archaeological events. (Although I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store in 1708 in archaeology.) Flowerparty 18:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Based on the List of years in archaeology, it seems that the 1700s were mediocre for the activity, so merge all "17?? in archaeology" articles into one article, Archaelolgy in the 1700s. -- BD2412 ^talk 19:33, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with 1707 in science. -R. fiend 20:39, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• keep. There was a shedload of antiquarian activity in the eighteenth century that can be added. adamsan 11:22, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Part of a clearly valuable series. Calsicol 16:53, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unless it is expanded from more than one item, it's pretty useless. jg325 *talk* 21:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, perhaps Merge or Create New Article, agree with Soltak. History of archaeology is an encyclopedia article. Important Dates in Archaeology is something that might make a good article, possibly by merging all these year-by-year lists together into a new article. An Endless List Of Archeological Achievements Categorized in Separate Articles By Each Year in History is not an encyclopedia article, it's an incredibly unweildy index.
