The majority criterion is badly misnamed. The name sounds like it means the Condorcet criterion, when it's much, much weaker, and calling Condorcet "majority-rule criterion" or "majority principle" is common in the social choice literature, which makes it very easy to confuse. —[[User:Closed Limelike Curves|Closed Limelike Curves]] ([[User talk:Closed Limelike Curves|talk]]) 17:42, 15 April 2024 (UTC) |

The majority criterion is badly misnamed. The name sounds like it means the Condorcet criterion, when it's much, much weaker, and calling Condorcet "majority-rule criterion" or "majority principle" is common in the social choice literature, which makes it very easy to confuse. —Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:42, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
