... as the first sentence makes clear: "World-system is a crucial element of the world-systems theory"... All clarifications of "world-system" belong at world-systems theory. --Wetman (talk) 06:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check out Wikipedia:Splitting. When subtopics grown enough, they are split off. World-system is a crucial part of the world-system theory, also it is a concept notable in its own right. If you disagree, try WP:AFD. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 06:57, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
