Essay space?
[edit]Doesn't an article like this belong in Essay space? Nobs01 (talk) 02:09, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- No, because it's not an essay. You are welcome to take it to AfD if you like. Viriditas (talk) 02:14, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: I notice that there is no corresponding article about left-wing politics and violence. Should this be created as a new article, or should it be redirected instead to an existing page, such as left-wing terrorism? Jarble (talk) 02:26, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Our policy on WP:NPOV specifically guards against the notion of false balance. We most certainly do have corresponding articles about left-wing politics and violence, but they exist under different names and subjects where appropriate. This specific article is about right-wing politics and violence, such as the kind that occurred at the Charleston church shooting yesterday in South Carolina. The suspect in that incident, Dylann Storm Roof, is known for his "strong conservative beliefs", and this is the kind of Right-wing politics and violence this article is supposed to address. When one peruses the political news and literature in the United States today, one finds little to no violent rhetoric coming from Democrats or anywhere for that matter on the left. On the other hand, one finds violent, rhetorical polemics everywhere on the right, from the Tea Party to the Republican party. This article is more relevant now than ever before.

Merge to right-wing terrorism
[edit]This article refers to the term internally, and is basically redundant. Most if not all of the content would fit right in at the other article.
We could just make a section intended on comparing it to Islamism or something because I'm thinking that would work well for Choueiri's content, and probably Michael's. If you guys want to talk about violent rhetoric, I'm pretty sure you could put it in a section at the RWT article. Discuss-Dubious (t/c) 19:20, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
