Why exactly does the Liberalism template include all those "Other ideologies outside the series"? Wouldn't it be a better idea to create a separate Socialism series, a Conservatism series, etc.?-Mihnea Tudoreanu

I am pruning some of the entries. This article box has gotten quite large. --Twinxor 05:18, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I saw the pruning, but restored the timelines and the liberal international. --Gangulf 06:24, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This template includes many articles that have more to do with politics in general than liberalism in particular. I'm talking about the "middle section": Democracy, Freedom (political), Individual, Liberal democracy, Rule of law, Utilitarianism. The only one that really belongs there is liberal democracy. All the others are shared by liberalismand a wide variety of other ideologies. A better place for them would beTemplate:Politics. --Mihnea Tudoreanu 12:09, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I would prefer to delete the articles Classical liberalism, Green liberalism, Individualism, New liberalism, Neoliberalism, Small-l liberal, Social liberalism and to concentrate the template to the main articles about or on liberalism. In the main article Liberalism there are links to the articles I would like to delete from the template. --Gangulf 12:58, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I suppose that would be a good idea, since the articles are mostly stubs. But, in that case, shouldn't we merge this template with Template:Liberalism (II) ? After all, without the list of stubs, this template gets too small to justify the existence of 3 separate liberalism templates. --Mihnea Tudoreanu 13:24, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• I deleted classical liberalism; new liberalism and social liberalism from the template, since these articles only refer to the main article.
• I deleted liberal since this has become a disambig now
• I am still doubting about what to do with Green liberalism, individualism
• I deleted Neoliberalism because of the explanation in the article liberalism.

I am doubting about what to do with small-l-liberal

Note: for the unfamiliar, above section are for votes, pls discuss below.

The Christian-Democrat Party of East Timor, and theLakas-Christian Muslim Democrats party of the Philippines use yellow. Just because yellow is not a common conservative color in Netherlands, Belgium or Finland does not mean it the rest of the world is any less valid. These parties use yellow with respect to the Vatican's flag which has yellow portions. --Humble Guy 13:18, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

Just because blue is used by Democrats in the United States (who I don't think even know what liberalism means) does not mean it the rest of the world is any more valid. And did you know, that East Timor and Philippines are not located in Europe? ("especially the christian democrats in Europe...")

My response is now inmy talk page --Humble Guy 09:03, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
