:It does feel at first glance that the term "dimensional" is redundant in the title, but if we simply said "limitations of the spatial model" it may imply that the article refers to its empirical accuracy or some sort of epistemic criticism of the model (like those already mentioned in [[Spatial_model_of_voting]]), of which there are plenty. For example, it could also refer to criticisms comparing it to directional models. The article I wrote is specifically about how even working within the assumptions of a spatial model, the dimension of the space used imposes limitations that are usually not even recognized. The spatial model article lists 1/2/3-d cases as increasing "refinements", but my article highlights how certain structure is inherent in the choice of dimensions and number of candidates. It's a limitation that is far more fundamental, and covers any Euclidean spatial model. So I think that strictly from a technical point of view the "dimensional" qualifier is essential to warrant an article of its own. Merging it to the spatial model may be possible, but when I was editing it ends up larger than the rest of the article.

:: Thanks for responding. It seems to me we need an article titled "Limitations of the spatial model of voting" before we need an article titled "Dimensinoal limitations of the spatial model". We need the general article before we need the more specific article. I'm going to make the change, and then you can decide how to alter the prose to fit the title if you don't agree with my changes. It's actually ''preferable'' that there is redundancy between "[[Limitations of
