: I've had those notes for writing an article for a long time but never get around to it. (I don't think it's a good system, for the record.) I'm not sure what "disapproval voting" is. "Any" voting system that has a "disapprove" option? The [[negative vote]] article is meant to specifically be about the "vote for or against one candidate" system. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 04:25, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 
== Old Wikipedia article ==
So our article is derived from an older version of the Wikipedia article. Both say "Disapproval voting is any electoral system that allows many voters to express formal disapproval simultaneously". I would think this includes things like [[negative vote]], [[w:combined approval voting]], [[explicit approval voting]], etc. Anything with a disapproval option.
 
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
 
Should we just define it as "systems that allow for disapproval"? Or maybe just make a category for those and trash the article entirely? Since it's redundant with Wikipedia's article anyway? — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 22:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 
:I think the best way forward might be to delete everything but the summary (or for that matter, copy the summary over from the current [[wikipedia:Disapproval voting]] article, rather than use the zombie import from 2005, which appears to have only received minor edits on Electowiki since then). Then we can use this article to have at least a summary-style section about [[Negative vote]], given that [[wikipedia:Negative voting]] redirects to [[wikipedia:Disapproval voting]]. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 00:06, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
