Talk:Censorship under fascist regimes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Serious expansion, or recommend for AfD

This article needs to be expanded considerably. Going just by the article's title, "regimes" implies more than one. As it stands, the article should be called "Censorship in Fascist Italy." I recommend an overhaul or otherwise a fresh start. --Impaciente 09:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

The text on Italian censorship is evidently only a merely essential description of some of the aspects in which it was operated. Many themes could be developed, and other ones added. But the article should perhaps find those eventual common elements of censorship in recalled regimes, and this I think could come with greater advantage from a comparison, if someone can add something about Germany, Spain and any other eventual regimes. The use that in english is made of the word "fascism" is more general than the italian sense, and refers to any "similar" dictatorship. In this sense, I wonder if this article could be unified with the one requested for censorship in communist regimes.

The potential content could be infinitive (and the potential interest even wider), so maybe a consensus could be achieved on how to complete the article, and in which directions eventually better point our focus. This would also allow us to render it organically. Any suggestion appreciated.

About NPOV, that will certainly be the most delicate rule to follow, I would note that about dictatorships we should not stop at the easy partition: "dictator said this - oppositors said that", usually being both sides non neutral by definition. But a specific consensus on the point would be helpful, as well. --Gianfranco
