World civilisations
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Multiple reasons. 1: All civilisations (at least that I know of) exist in the Earth. Therefore, this title is redundant. 2: It is divided up into POV sections, including "Ancient civilisations" what qualifies as ancient? 3: All the content here is just a summary of seperate articles, and, if not, that content should be on those pages. 4: This uses a different spelling than the main article, civilization, so it should at least be moved, or possibly merged. ☻☻☻Sithman VIII !!☻☻☻ 22:58, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The reason given here for deleting the article is not proper.The link (ie, Earth ) given to show that the content exists elsewhere doesnot contain any thing pertaining to the present article. How does the title becomes redundant? Doesnt the article list different civilizations?
 * The purpose of the article is to give important information regarding the different civilizations and links in a compact form and in one place. Those who might want more info can look at the main articles whose links are given.
 * Dont you think what is mentioned are civilizations and some are very ancient?
 * What doesnt constitute summery? Every article is that way only. Because no article in web can give all the info in one place. Also that is quite irrelevant as well, because that is the job of a book. That is why every article is divided into sections with a heading and include only relevent info not otherwise.
 * The spelling is used differently in different countries and we cannot expect everyone to stick to one particular way. If the spelling is a problem it can be changed or otherwise the article title can be changed to make it more neutral.
 * If some content is missing, that can be added anytime to make the article look more complete rather than deleating it. Regards27.57.171.187 (talk) 03:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant that title is redundant, because all civilizations are "world" civilizations.  Also, you couldn't split the sections, they each already have their own articles, and contain no information not already contained in said articles.  Also, my personal opinions are irrelevant in an NPOV dispute, as are anybody's.  What matters is that it is neutral, which the artificial divisions in this article are not.  ☻☻☻Sithman  VIII !!☻☻☻ 00:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:28, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to Ancient civilization, but delete the redirect (history merge them) The article seems to be about ancient civilizations, so should be merged there. However the current title is wrong, world civilization =/= ancient civilization, therefore the article histories should be merged and the redirect deleted. Yoenit (talk) 14:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Civilization. It seems like both pages cover the same material in different ways. I also think the list of civilizations is rather redundant, we might as well link to the article directly. Draksis314 (talk) 00:32, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
