Talk:Libertarian perspectives on capital punishment

2005 comments
Why does this page even exist? Shouldn't it be folded into a page on libertarianism?
 * Ideally, yes. But the page on libertarianism would probably be about 70 pages long if we included all the subarticles (economic views, legal views, views on rights, anarcho-capitalism, minarchism, and views on intellectual property, Objectivism, privatizing natural resources, foreign policy, immigration and so on). As a compromise, the most important issues get a paragraph (or a bit more) and the less important ones get links to pages like this one with a sentence summarizing it in the main article. If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it, because this really isn't a perfect system. Dave (talk) 03:42, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)


 * This links from the section Libertarianism in the USA->issues->capital punishment. I believe the article would need to have a purely American subject and it is not an "issue" with the article. Warmallis0n (talk) 08:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Issues with article
I think it would be good to talk about left-libertarian perspectives on capital punishment in the United States in this article. Left-libertarianism is not as prominent or well-known as right-libertarianism in the US, though, so I think the article should still focus more on right-libertarian perspectives. I also think this article could use some expansion, and more citations. Lastly, I don't think the article entirely follows Wikipedia's WP:NPOV guideline. The article and its tone is also written more like an essay in some ways. I put a NPOV template at the top of the page. JoeSmoe2828 (talk) 21:59, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
