Western history in a nutshell
My first thought was rename - but this article needs both a new name and new content - this is a POV essay in the style of 1066 and all that - not an encyclopedia article - if an encyclopedic article can be written on the History of the West' (and I have my doubts) this is not where it should start from --Doc (?) 13:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete everything encyclopedic is really "in a nutshell." If anything add an appropriate Timeline. Mmmbeer 15:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, The text is moved from Western culture. Please note that I have created the article with the "clean-up" denomination. I would prefer another name and a cleaned up content.
 * Problem with cleaning up the articles Western culture and Western world is that many views exist on what Western culture and Western world actually mean (which is a matter of definition).
 * For some reason, people present these lengthy contributions in these articles.
 * The added value of seperating this content in a new article and adding "in a nutshell" is to avoid a endless discussion and lenghty contributions in the other two articles. It becomes manageable.

 * Delete. Clone of existing article, "in a nutshell" is not encyclopedic. A large article should have leaf sub-articles to keep reasonable size, not clones. Pavel Vozenilek 17:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this badly-titled fork and return this material to Western culture where it belongs. History of the West would be a good summary article, but this is not it. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:00, 2005 July 26 (UTC)
 * Merge Why is this not in Western culture? Robert A West 20:46, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Bad title, since encyclopedia articles should be compendious; and the whole concept has a Whiggish POV. William Avery 14:51, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't know whether it's productive to talk about "Western History" at all. Title is mildly unencyclopedic.  Delete.  Slac  speak up!  22:05, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
