This article is redundant when we have Human history which is also periodized. Interstellarity (talk) 16:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Human history per nom and per WP:REDUNDANT. Possibly a WP:CONTENTFORK as well. I prefer redirect to deletion solely to preserve this article’s edit history which is quite large. Frank Anchor 21:39, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Besides Human history, another possible redirect target might be List of time periods. TompaDompa (talk) 14:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Worth including in a "See also" setion for the article it isn't redirected too. GR86 (📱) 20:45, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to List of time periods I google the phrase "History by period," and most of the results were lists of different eras rather than prosaic histories. Thus, this seems like a more appropriate target. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:09, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Human history is the best solution for this. TH1980 (talk) 22:16, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
