Talk:Voting method criterion

These all need examples. A ley person (such as myself) learns absolutely nothing from reading these. Even my American Government teacher doesn't understand this. --NoPetrol 01:08, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Put simply, the section at Voting system#Criteria in evaluating voting systems is more complete than this "main article". — Bitt 15:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this article is not useful. The Voting System article is excellent. I'd delete this one, just give a redirecdt to that article.--Mack2 12:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into this article. Voting system#Criteria in evaluating voting systems is too long and detailed and most of it should come here.--Henrygb 15:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Criteria are essential to voting theory. If they're taken out of the article, I'm afraid most readers won't follow the link, and they'll end up with an incomplete picture of what voting theory is about. I think the best way to "merge" would be to link to the category from Voting system... but are links from an article to a category allowed in Wikipedia style? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 09:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the criteria should be merged to this page -- there's too much else going on in the other. Also, since this article is about criteria and not a single criterion, I would recommend moving it to voting system criteria, list of voting system criteria, or something along those lines. Other articles discussing things that make sense as collections are similarly named in the plural, and I think the name is more sensible. In the singular it seems like an article discussing what can be a criterion for a voting system, which is a very narrow topic that would have trouble expanding beyond a few paragraphs at best. :) CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:59, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
