Wikified ALDE in PACE section[edit]

I have wikified the ALDE in PACE section of this article. However, it still needs verification, and, although I excised the most obvious offenders, is still dangerously close to POV. -- kaosfere 20:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

Should there not be an infobox for Eurogroups, like for parties proper? ALDE and EPP-ED are how they are represented in parliament, some small box would be good wouldn't it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JLogan (talk • contribs) 21:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Two ALDEs[edit]

Why not having two separate articles on the two ALDEs? --Checco (talk) 16:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Four, actually. And precisely because, unlike UEN-EA, it's largely coherent and homogenous in all assemblies. —Nightstallion 17:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

merging proposal[edit]

Why not merging the page with the Eu group? It is pretty confusing, especially for wikilinks with other languages. Some speak about both ALDE in same page and no idea where to re-link them. The group can be presented as EU parl and then added that it was constituted also as international alliance in other organs. would be much easier--88.103.17.38 (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your proposal above. The articles should not be merged. The reasons are as follows:

Legislative groups get separate articles from their party/alliance

The ALDE group in the EP is a set (of people) with a defined date of creation, founding documents, rules and membership. The ALDE alliance is a larger set with differences. This situation exists in many assemblies: examples in the US include the separate articles for Democratic Party (United States), Republican Party (United States), Democratic Caucus of the United States Senate, Democratic Caucus of the United States House of Representatives, Republican Conference of the United States Senate, Republican Conference of the United States House of Representatives.

Size considerations

The merged articles would be prohibitatively large. As the article expands to include the PACE,COR and NATO groups, it would get worse.

Consistency with other articles

Each EP group gets its own article: the sole exception is PES, and that will be rectified before June 09.

In short, the current structure reflects reality, matches other Wikiarticles, won't get too big and allows for future expansion.

Redundant article[edit]

This article is essentially redundant and should be merged with Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group. Anyone disagree?--Autospark (talk) 17:07, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
