Container RevolutionContainer Revolution (pottery) – I was trying to find out more about the "Container Revolution" in international shipping after seeing it in a documentary, but to my surprise it appears that Wikipedia prefers this topic from Neolithic times to the one from modern times, despite this article being barely more than a stub. I would propose that Containerization be the redirect target of this page after this is moved as well.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support the 20th-century event is clearly the primary topic of "container revolution" in reliable sources [1] (t · c) buidhe 09:04, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Containerization is definitely the primary topic. I'm not sure it's even worth keeping a standalone article on the archaeological usage – the sources are very thin. – Joe (talk) 14:37, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support based on web and scholar searches, Containerization is clearly the primary topic. I'm not convinced this term is actually a common term for the development of pottery to use as containers; the claim it applies specifically to the "Eastern Woodlands of North America" is just silly. The content was added in 2005 and badly sourced then, there have been no constructive edits since then. 75.162.124.147 (talk) 02:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
