Progressivism

edit

Based on our ongoing debate in regard to the LPC's inclusion to the list of progressive parties, I think I need to make something clear about my position, lest we continue on in circles. The list is supposed to be dedicated to parties which have a strictly progressive platform. You seem to believe the LPC falls into this category. There are many, I'm sure, who also likely believe the Democratic party here in the US falls into this category as well. The problem is largely semantics- the term "liberal" has been conflated by too many bloggers and politicians with the term "progressive". The fact of the matter is there is a difference between the two, and the original tenets of early progressivism are the ultimate indicator. There are some parties, such as most greens, which adhere to a platform that is entirely consistent with the founding principles of progressivism. The LPC, along with the Democrats in the US and the Labour party in the UK, are all liberal parties, but they also cater to the right-wing in many respects, and this usually results in a policy or two which is not only non-progressive but may run counter to the very policies which divide progressivism from any other political ideology. The New Democrats have a platform that is consistently progressive, and the LPC does not- therefore the two parties should not be included in the same category in an encyclopedia. This is all based on fact- the policies speak for themselves, and unless you can find a credible source which considers cuts in social programs and increased defense spending progressive policies - as opposed to conservative policies, which they unquestionably are - the LPC cannot justly be included in this list, as they embrace the very ideology that progressivism attempts to refute--Jackbirdsong 01:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

An editor has nominated Liblogs, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liblogs and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jason Cherniak

edit
 

A tag has been placed on User:Jason Cherniak, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
