Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Early modern history
Rather incoherent, has nothing at all to do with the article title. I don't think there is anything here that can be salvaged. -- Ferkelparade π 09:21, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Make it a part of late-modern history. --Feedle 17:32, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Now it's a redirect. Just a comment: there is no standardization for what "early modern" means. I find the term rather awful, myself. I have heard people working on Roman de la Rose say they were working on "early modern" literature. I've heard people who were working on Anglo-Saxon say their field was "early modern." I've heard people use it for Renaissance. To me, it's all weasle stuff, because no one wants to admit that they study anything old or seem like they might accept a value judgment from a prior age. Well, get over it. Divide history in any way, and you make a value judgment. Don't divide it, and you can't teach a class or structure your doctoral exams. As bad as the old terms were, at least they were already done and settled. Geogre 18:46, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Not encyclopedic -- what does "early modern" mean? --Improv 20:25, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
