Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cradle of humanity (2nd nomination)
I hope those editors who are suggesting that "Cradle of humanity" is a common term/concept in prehistory/religion can point us to sources that are specifically about the term. As was said many times in the first AfD, the sources mention "cradle of humanity" in passing, but none are specifically about that topic. If we don't have secondary sources that discuss the history of the term, it's |original research to write our own. Perhaps an analogy will help. Both Boston and Philadelphia claim to be the "cradle of liberty". But that doesn't justify creating Cradle of liberty as a history of various cities' claims to be the birthplace of the American Revolution, unless a secondary source has already discussed the subject--and has done so under the specific topic of "cradle of liberty
