Keep: I do see the point of some other recent AfDs concerning individual years where nothing of note can be located. However, an entire century seems entirely another matter. This was a century when Peter Abelard was working, writing his Ethics around 1138, as was Alan of Lille. The article has a reference to a Cambridge University Press History of Twelfth-Century Western Philosophy. See also Ch.13 of Alasdair Macintyre's After Virtue, on the reconsideration of Greek and Roman philosophy by these and other writers: "When therefore in the twelfth century the question of the relationship of pagan to Christian virtues is explicitly posed by theologians and philosophers, it is much more than a theoretical question", etc . This article clearly needs expansion, but not deletion. AllyD (talk) 16:29, 7 September 2018 (UTC) (The lifespan of the Neo-Confucian Zhu Xi also falls within this century.

Keep per the above. I've started expanding it, and plenty of further expansion is possible. XOR'easter (talk) 15:00, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
