It had been agreed above that the party, described as far-right by almost everyone except themselves, would be called “right-wing to far-right” in a compromise solution. Yet, somebody removed the far-right bit. Can it please be re-added?2A02:14F:17C:13D3:4C65:C746:A86F:51FF (talk)08:16, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where exactly? Because it says so in the infoboxDajasj (talk)09:05, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Many, many reliable sources refer to them as such. If there are objections, let me know.

How the Far-Right Won the Dutch Election—and What Comes Next | TIME

Well it was already in the infobox. The new sentence reads very weird now. And I would argue that right wing populism already indicates being part of the far right. It would also make more sense to call them radical right in the introduction, as another more specific group within the far right.Dajasj (talk)05:41, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed the wording was clunky. I removed "nationalist" from the sentence and it now reads much clearer. Nationalism is inherent in right-wing populism & far-right politics, so it was redundant anyways.Be-Plants (talk)18:12, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I'd argue right-wing populism is not inherently far-right and many other Wikipedia articles use the "right-wing to far-right" label whereas "radical right" isn't generally used as a descriptor in the intro section, so I think this conforms best.Be-Plants (talk)18:16, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The "right-wing to far-right"-label is usually used in the infobox, not the introduction (which was also the case here). For the introduction, far-right is too broad. This is also discussed more detailled onParty_for_Freedom#Ideology, which the introduction should reflect (although I have mostly written that). There is also a distinction between nationalism and populism in that section.Dajasj (talk)18:46, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ardyl, thanks for your contributions to the page! I do have two points however.

First, the PVV has existed for a long time and there has been in the past much debate how to categorize the party. To my knowledge however, the general consensus is that the party is radical right and right wing populist. It createsWP:Undue weight to list all ideologies it shares elements with or has been called in the past. The same for the label "extreme-right", which is also not used by scientific sources. I don't think the average reader is helped by it as well.

Which brings me to another point, I think it is helpful for the reader if we zoom out a bit and focus on the bigger picture in the article. Not everything that has been written in the past or every political position of the party is relevant for the Wikipedia article. So I believe it is best to use reliable sources, preferably scientific, that zoom out a bit. This also helps for the future, because it avoids the article becoming outdated or just a list of random unrelated facts (both are the case for the Dutch Wikipedia article).Dajasj (talk)23:22, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And next time please check the sources properly. You have been picking sources and sentences from the Dutch Wikipedia, without apparently checking whether they match at all.Dajasj (talk)23:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saying "Right Wing" and "Far Right" in the same opening sentence is redundant, but also contradictory. Which one is it?Haskeymorrison (talk)18:35, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit confused why Parlement.com is added again. Both sources are used already, and Parlement.com is not part of Leiden University.Dajasj (talk)20:00, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And PVV is generally classified as far right or radical right, not as 'just' rightDajasj (talk)20:01, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the changes of today, I do agree with the anonymous user that it is a bit passive-agressive. I think I wrote it, but I support the changeDajasj (talk)15:43, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
