[edit] Survey of the twentieth century

Survey of the twentieth century (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This was previously discussed at an AfD two years ago under a different title; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eighty Years' War (1914-1995). Reading that debate and looking at the article as it exists now, I am certain it would be deleted under current standards. There's simply no source that documents that these concepts are more important as surveys of the period than any other, and thus it is inherently not NPOV. I anticipate some thoughts of merging, but that does not solve the POV problem. Chick Bowen 03:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, irretrievably POV and original research. Moreschi Talk 10:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - OR, POV and even if it was sourced and not original synthesis, it relies too heavily on the European region. But seeing as it is unsourced, OR & POV, it's an obvious delete... Spawn Man 11:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete there is no need for a seperate page that attempts to interpret the twentieth century, especially one so covered in original research. Hut 8.5 12:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Wow, I had heard about the 20th Century, but I wasn't paying much attention while it was going on. Mandsford 12:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete original research and POV. Oysterguitarist 18:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete' - too much POV. If the article is kept, Twentieth Century needs to be capitalized in the title as it's a proper name. 23skidoo 06:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOR. Stifle (talk) 16:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
