The term looks made up, and seems to be OR, we also have other articles (even linked here) for much of this. Slatersteven (talk) 14:52, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

- The title of the article can be changed to a more neutral wording, such as "British influence on the world".
- In my view, duplicated information is not a sufficient reason to delete this article. British influences on the world have taken place both before and after the British Empire, so having some kind of dedicated resource to discuss this seems fair, and the current Legacy of the British Empire link goes only to a relatively short section in the British Empire article, which is insufficient to communicate the full impact of British influence, as well as implicitly colouring to some extent the overall British impact in more of a Imperial-political light, rather than giving a wholly global overview. In general, it should be possible to learn (or at least be linked to) the same information from different articles on Wikipedia, as this allows for a more comprehensive coverage of any one given topic while still showing the linkages between various topics. Also, there are articles discussing many other forms of -"-isations", such as Americanisation or Croatisation, so having one for a prolifically influential country like Britain seems paramount.

- Looks like OR - a synthesis of material from different articles and separate sources to imply a singular trend. If it was notable as an academic or popular concept there would be plenty of sources supporting it. Wiki-Ed (talk) 11:01, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
DeleteFails WP:SYNTH, redundant to Anglicisation. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 13:05, 21 December 2024 (UTC)- It might be possible to merge (potentially without a redirect) to anglicisation. GreekApple123 (talk) 14:21, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah makes sense. Changing my vote to merge all salvageable content as Anglicisation is woefully incomplete. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 21:47, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
