List of archery civilizations

 * – ( View AfD View log )

List is undefined and too broad (nearly every civilization could be classed as an archery civilization at some point in history) ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  ((⊕)) 23:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete This is original research, in that I've not seen any source that uses the term "archery civilization", and it's basically a list of blue links to articles about peoples who used the old bow and arrow. Not surprisingly, it's from 2006, early days list from when citations and interesting information were optional.  The text looks like someone's notes ("Armenians Cretans Getae Parthians Sarmatians Scythians Indo-Aryans"; "Huns Avars Bulgars Magyars Cumans Korea"; "Welsh England Manchu Mongols Turkic peoples").  Back in '06, "Here's a few, can you think of some more?" was the style of lists, and may explain the dislike many people have even for well-organized list articles.  We've come a long way in the last few years.   Mandsford 14:24, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
