[edit] List of liberal leaders

List of liberal leaders (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The list is not even here, just a notice that the content is now located in other articles. Even if it was there, identifying people as "liberal" (or as "leaders" for that matter) without sources constitutes original research. Bletch 12:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This article has no value whatsover. Quick decision to delete is needed. scope_creep 14:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete: There's no purpose for this article name space. No information on the page and nothing important links to it. --Howrealisreal 15:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete due to lack of content. I thought the problem with this article would be that it was POV to determine who was "liberal" or who was a "leader", but in fact the biggest problem is that the actual "list" content was moved out of this article almost two years ago. --Metropolitan90 15:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• "What you're looking for ain't here!" Delete. Interrobamf 16:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I'm pretty sure this doesn't fall into Speedy Deletion catagories, however, it can be deleted! Missvain 17:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Well, maybe besides some nuggets of information that could have value in the talk page (which can be moved out if needed), I think the article page falls under Wikipedia:Patent nonsense. --Howrealisreal 19:32, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• If it can't be speedy, how about Snowball Delete? Is Ken Salazar a liberal or Conservative? What about John McCain? Joe Lieberman? Are they leaders? They're Senators... what do they lead? Terms can't be objectively defined. ;-) Balloonman 21:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment For what it is (was?) worth, there once was a full list - just go a bit further back in the history, or check the talk page, but even if that list was there, it would still be deletion material. --Bletch 23:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete Perfect example of an original research violation. There are many ways of defining liberalism and what constitutes a liberal; its an entirely subjective undertaking. Where are we going to draw the line between moderates and liberals? What types of liberals do we include? How many issues does someone have to be 'liberal' on to qualify for this list? --The Way 10:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
