The result was   redirect to Far East. There is obvious consensus to redirect, but it's a bit of a tossup on which to choose. Far East seems preferable just because of the linguistic similarity and likelihood that a visitor looking for 'Far Eastern Civilization' would find something useful. —Tom Morris (talk) 15:39, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Article is double to the (incorrect) section of the article Arnold J. Toynbee. Seperate article not necessary. Night of the Big Wind talk  15:28, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Far East: current article isn't keepable, but it's a reasonable search term, especially since it's used by such a famous historian. Nyttend (talk) 18:41, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to East Asia, which seems to be the major article on the topic. Arnold J. Toynbee's views should already be covered in articles on him and his books. Borock (talk) 00:35, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect (as others said). If the article was worth having the author would have taken the trouble to cite an English version of Toynbee's work.  The article says that Toynbee "holds" a view, but actually he "held" it, having been dead for 50 years.  If the article were to be retained, I would expact that it should contain some discussion of Toynbee's view and whether it was correct that a single (presumably ancestral) Far Eastern civilisation could be identified.
