The result was redirect to Achaemenid Empire with no prejudice against recreation into a more complete article (as per the consensus). XOR'easter's was WP:JUSTAVOTE before they elaborated in their replies to AlessandroTiandelli333. The nominator and Peterkingiron also support redirecting despite not formatting their comments as "redirect". Therefore, minus AlessandroTiandelli333's merge argument, there's clear consensus to redirect and that this doesn't warrant its own article at this time. This is a redirect discussion that just happened to take place at AFD. And that's why I'm closing this as redirect. (non-admin closure) — Mythdon ( talk  •  contribs ) 16:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Timeline of the Achaemenid Empire

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Started back in 2015, only has two entries. Unless someone is willing to make the effort to fill in the full timeline, it is of little value. There are plenty of articles about the Achaemenid Empire for people interested in the history of this major Persian Empire, including the well written article: Achaemenid Empire.

 * Redirect to Achaemenid Empire. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:43, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge I think this page was made largely to host the moving infographic on the right hand side of the page, which by all accounts is very informative. I think this should have a place somewhere on Wikipedia. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 19:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It's a nice animation, but it's already used at Achaemenid Empire. Does it really need a page all to itself? XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:58, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. Johnbod (talk) 00:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Achaemenid Empire, per XOR&#39;easter. Johnbod (talk) 00:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I support Johnbod's suggestion.Chewings72 (talk) 03:20, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above; too incomplete to be a standalone. No prejudice against re-creation if somebody wants to add enough sourced content to justify a standalone article. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:23, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - While not opposing the suggested outcome, a timeline in this form, giving the important dates in a list might be useful, but would need a lot more material added to be worth having. The timeline in the article is so cramped that it is not really useable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:03, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
