7 Day Week

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is interesting, but an essay, original research and speculation. The redirect was overturned by the creator, so I am bringing it here for the community to build a consensus on it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It's my intension to cleanup both Week and Days of the Week. As discussed at Talk:Week.


 * Week is mainly advising on the 7 Day Week and mentions little on other day groupings or divisions of larger day groupings such as a lunar month or year.


 * Information in Week on the 7 day week should be moved to either 7 day week or days of the week depending on the content.


 * Both the 7 day week and days of the week are large amounts of information.


 * By splitting this will and allow the growth of week to focus on 'week' as a subject. i.e. In parts of Africa 3, 4 (especially along the Congo), 5, 6, and 8 day weeks are found. The Mayas, Persians and Malaysians had 5, Muyscas 3, Romans 8. 10 has been quite common too. The Chinese divided the cycle into 10 days at least as far back as the Shan Dynasty 1200-1045 BCE. And too ancient Egypt. Even the French for 12 years from late 1793 to 1805. And for 18 days in 1871 in Paris.


 * This would also allow for a focused development of 7 day week and days of the week.

 * Keep An incomplete article; let it develop. DGG (talk) 20:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Week keep Although it doesn't have sources, it is sourceable, and it goes beyond the parent article in attempting to answer the question of why the world's business is organized in seven-day periods. However, if no sources are added by the close of the variable "AfD week", then delete.  Mandsford (talk) 21:09, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I've added more references as requested. --Pnb73 (talk) 23:03, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - sources exist, and while there's a danger of some OR in the finished article, it's simply too early to make the claim that it's irredeemable OR. Wily D 21:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
