I am withdrawing this AfD. Based on suggestions from those commenting below, I agree that forks are required. Please see Talk:Colonialism#Splitting_this_article_up_-_five_.22eras.22_not_two for an alternative suggestion. Comments welcome. Gsd2000 18:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC) reply
Unnecessary fork from Colonialism, that simply duplicates its content under a heading that is an arbitrary and subjective slicing of historical time, that noone will ever directly search for, unlike say the Age of Discovery, which is a recognised term in English. Same goes for The Second European colonization wave (19th-20th century). There is no reason why the content cannot remain in Colonialism with links to concrete topics with uncontentious titles that people would actually search for, such as the Spanish Empire or Hernan Cortes. Just to reiterate: this article is simply duplicated text from Colonialism - deleting it would not constitute loss of information from Wikipedia. Gsd2000 12:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC) reply
