Appropriation (economics) → Original appropriation – Though overly focussed on Rothbard's perspective, this article clearly refers to Original appropriation "of previously unowned natural resources", as the first sentence says, thereby excluding other forms of appropriation. WP:NATURALDIS is the better way here, even more as the "economics" disambiguator doesn't really work for this concept, a concept used and understood in economics and economic history as well as in law and sociology. The disambiguator also keeps us from developing a complete overview of original appropriation in both economic history and history of thought. Note that the Homestead principle is no replacement as that term refers to a particularly libertarian, and mostly U.S. focussed perspective. In a way, Locke is actually being appropriated there, as he didn't refer to the "homestead principle". --PanchoS (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. &mdash; Music1201  talk  17:45, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This RM probably didn't get good visibility or something... but there's no "original appropriation" bigram anywhere in the current article. The article is not very clearly supported with citations to be certain about that claim, and also looks to be orphaned in the article space. Per RM procedures, this could have been closed as unopposed before my comment here (?) but I wouldn't object to a bold move as suggested, with the possibility of putting this article back here after expansion — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 05:45, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
