- Delete These are either original synthesis, or, more likely, a blatant ripoff of a chart that someone else had put together. There were some links to a website to the Jacob Voorthuis lectures at the Eindhoven University of Technology, but those no longer function. Mandsford 01:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. It provides a very useful diagram with internal wikilinks to other pages. I do not see any proof that this is a copyright violation as suggested by Mandsford.Biophys (talk) 16:17, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep. Clever, useful navigation aid. Should be based entirely on existing article content, specifically on the articles linked. Seems to be upside down Gantt chart style. This style of presentation of material is normal, and not copyrightable. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:16, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Like lists, timelines don't need to demonstrate that they themselves are notable. Helpful to the reader, and because these charts employ MediaWiki, the only way they could be copyvios is if they had been taken from another website that used MediaWiki — information itself can't be copyrighted.

- Keep The defunct website is still viewable via the Internet Archive at [1]. But histories of architecture can be used to reference the beginning dates for the styles. A useful navigational aid. Needs expansion and broadening to include non-western styles. Edison (talk) 22:53, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
