: For reference, the Wikipedia page named '''Kemeny-Young method''' has the correct info. However that title was chosen by Markus Shulze who dislikes the '''Kemeny''' method because it so closely competes with "his" method, so he made a point not to include the word Condorcet, and instead included the less-important name "Young".

:: What I'm proposing is that instead of two articles ([[Kemeny-Young Maximum Likelihood Method]] and [[VoteFair Ranking]]) we have one article with the important information from both of the current articles. Based on my limited understanding (mostly from our limited discussions elsewhere), the merged article should probably be called "Condorcet-Kemeny", but I'm inclined to get other opinions on the topic. The merged article should explain the variations (which can include "VoteFair popularity ranking"). I'm not in a huge rush to make the change, but I am eager to make electowiki into a more useful reference site. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 20:45, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
