No potential to become encyclopedic. This user may be the originator and sole user of this term. See Timeline of the Axial World's History and his user page, A.Khalil. --Paraphelion 07:51, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. No reference, no book, not a quote from somone ? WTH is this article ? A hoax, a joke ? Timeline of the Axial World's History is just a selective chronology which looks arbitrary to me. 54 hits on ' "axial world" '. Can't make up my mind. Gtabary 16:18, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Most of those hits are not the use this person is talking about, I think. --Paraphelion 17:44, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, original research. Jayjg | (Talk) 19:36, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It is obvious that this is a work in progress. I vote to keep it for a while and see how it ends up. The premise of the article might be original as stated above, but it is interesting to those, like me, involved in the area studies. ItisIAnonymous 21:01, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Why did you remove the citation of 'Ahmed Khalil' from the article? --Paraphelion 09:51, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Original research. Shimeru 23:05, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Work in progress, perhaps; but that's no excuse. Delete both articles. humblefool 01:53, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete original research Kostja 08:56, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. 59 hits on Google, and referring to the same subject, example: "Axial world religions" (=Juedo_Christian_Moselm). --Alif 01:15, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete both pages. There are already enough terms to refer to this area, we don't need another. Adam Bishop 20:03, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Keep, has potential to expand. Megan1967 02:30, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I used to make up words, and even whole alphabets. I never tried to create encyclopedia articles about them, though. Delete. Edeans 07:29, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- "Axial Age" is a well-known term; but "Axial World" seems to be a neologism coined from it. Delete - Mustafaa 20:39, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
