Talk:Libertarian movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Errr ... isn't this just propaganda/boosterism? As stand-alone article, that is.

- I would've expressed my criticism slightly differently. The most charitable view is that it is not encyclopeadic, but rather represents the development of someone's argument to a conclusion. I had considered nominating this page for WP:VFD, but thought I'd let it slide for the time being. --SilasM 09:36, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
It was part of the original libertarianism article but was removed for space reasons. I'd like to keep it, though if you want to balance or rename it, that's cool. I think it could be encyclopedic to have a list and/or discussion of what libertarians have applauded (and maybe condemned) over the years. Dave 16:44, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
- So what do libertarians think on the growth of habeas corpus? OK, that's tendentious, but perhaps it makes the point that this is wildly imbalanced. Charles Matthews 13:35, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- A better title would be something more like Libertarian strands in U. S. public policy. That's still not quite right, though. Could we discuss a possible title change for this page? Charles Matthews 09:42, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Say U.S. public policy and libertarian ideas? It limits the scope slightly, compared to having a free discussion on the international stage. But I would say that the focus is much better. Charles Matthews 14:28, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- The best solution may be merging it with an article on the libertarian movement. It needs to be somewhere. I don't think it needs to be restricted to the U.S.—there's stuff on Costa Rica and Britain, too. Dave (talk)
[edit] This article is poor
I think it is still sub-standard, a cherry-picking of political themes with no attempt at balance. Charles Matthews 11:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
