Early Modern Times
This book was created by the same anonymous contributor as Trotskyism. Single page with a number of red links. Links don't show any amount of focus for the book, and it isn't likely to attract any further contributors. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 01:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I have to admit, if I wind up teaching 7th grade next year at my school, this is the book that my students would be writing. I wouldn't keep the outline as it's currently written, because that's not quite what we study, though it's close. Basically we do 1453 (Fall of Byzantium) to 1914 (Fall of the Ottoman Empire). --But I won't know if I'll be teaching 7th grade history until August or September. Can we readdress the issue of deletion in a few months? -Andrew Watt 18:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * But on that note, this book is only an outline now, and it isn't the outline you would even be using when you do decide to contribute to this book. I think that we can delete this now, and that way you can have a blank slate to work on your project. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 23:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep -- This looks like it was designed to be the prequel to Modern History. Now I do not know if we want a separate book, or if we can just merge this into Modern History (and have that book start in the 15th, not 19th, century). I want to work on Modern History more, I just rarely find time to work on it! --Kernigh 16:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete As users mention below, European History covers what was here. --Kernigh 03:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Modern History since it looks like it would fit well there. -Matt 02:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Early Modern Times focuses on Europe, and I don't believe expanding its subject area would be a good organization, due to the diversity and stratification of cultures during the period. Europe during this period is already covered in European History and the world in general is covered in World History.
 * Delete - Duplicate information and doesn't seem to fit the quality standards of other books it could be merged into even if the information wasn't redundant. -Matt
 * Delete and comment See User_talk:216.7.248.254. The author has only copied random articles from Wikipedia and Wikinews into Modern History. Early Modern Times is a poorly organized duplication of European History and is not needed. --hagindaz 03:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Deleted. For the reasons listed by User:Hagindaz. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 23:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
