Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emperor of Mankind
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&q=%22Emperor+of+Mankind%22+&btnG=Search A google scholar search for this exact term does not appear to support the usage you have adduced, except in those few (4) neologist instances. Could you please provide more specific references (& good on you to provide page numbers) from reputable scholarly sources so we can judge whether this usage is generally accepted in the context of the reification of Asian kingship? For example, (source 2) to translate Genghis Khan as "Emperor of Mankind" is simply erroneous, indeed baffling. A google search of "Ghenghis Khan" with "Emperor of Mankind" (removing, lol, Warhammer of course) produces http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=NVs&q=Genghis+Khan+%22Emperor+of+Mankind%22+-Warhammer&btnG=Search all of six Ghits. Source 4 (supporting the claim that the title is used in the context of Christianity) is an extraordinary extrapolation to all of Christian doctrine of a single passage (that you have linked to, viz. ''I recognise my Lord, the king of kings and the emperor of mankind'') uttered in translation in the context of a solitary martyrological instance. Thus, as it stands and based on the referenced material provided, the opening phrase '''Emperor of Mankind is a title used by a number of Asian emperors and deities''' is simply false and the other uses are, at best, idiosyncratic. Wikipedia is here to reflect, |not create. Thus, any JSTOR or other scholarly material that you can dig up to flesh out these (in my view) inadequately referenced assertions would be highly useful. I salute your desire to save articles, but the gussying up of an infrequent neologism and providing it with the semblance of academic credibility, when in fact it has none, is not the way to go about it
