305:, because there is no place in guideline, essay, or policy that makes use of this one year figure you've decided upon. The concept of world domination is certainly notable enough to warrant an article, the article is just poorly written as it stands (And should be semi-protected since everyone and their brother owns the world). The purpose of wikipedia is to improve, not to sweep everything that doesn't meet some arbitrary quality control deadline underneath the carpet.
215:. That's what this article is about, and its an OR mashup that includes flash-in-the-pan wannabes like Hitler and Napoleon along with big old civilizations. The idea that ancient civilizations thought they dominated the world is hyperbole, not history. For instance, at the height of the Roman Empire's expansion they knew their silk and spices were coming from places they could never hope to control. They also knew Alexander the Great had conquered as far as the

There really is a Ming the Merciless/James-Bond-villain taste to the title (an unencyclopedic tone), but the problem goes beyond that. A more accurate title would be something like

The nomination seems counterfactual. The article has sources and there don't seem to be any specific requests for more. The claims of OR seem fanciful and are unsupported. As for books, there are hundreds of them on the subject.
