Line 34:
: I have a strong preference against this change. As the creator and dominant author I hope that my preference has some weight. The intention of the page is to discuss the formation of governments and how that process can be reformed. This site is largely about electoral reform and alternative systems. Government formation is a topic for reform that is somewhat underserved. I use this page to refer people to quite often and do not want to lose that ability. The larger topic of governments in general is important and should maybe be another page. The [[English Wikipedia]] page for "government" covers something quite different to the process for forming a government after an election. The [[English Wikipedia]] "Government formation" page is quite lacking but is distinct from the generic government page. Admittedly this page only covers the Westminster system and should be expanded if there are people with the knowledge to do so. To help round out this page, it would be worth while to take some of the existing information from the [[English Wikipedia]] "Government formation" page which is not here. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 23:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
:: I forgot about being referred to as "you Condorcet people" and then almost immediately misspelled "Condorcet" as "Condorset" just to emphasize the point that you truly don't think that Condorcet methods (or the [[Condorcet criterion]]) are important. My comments from 2020 still stand; this is not a good article as written. Either we move this page to [[Government]] or we move it to [[User:Dr. Edmonds/Government formation]], unless someone weighs in with a compelling counterargument (preferrably someone other than [[User:Dr. Edmonds]], since a different [[Project:electowikian|electowikian]] oould break the stalemate, and [[User:Dr. Edmonds]] has made their position clear). I still maintain that this wiki needs a "Government" article more than it needs a "Government formation" article. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 09:46, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
