Talk:Participatory politics

separate topics
separate topics- Participatory politics is the main article, parpolity as coined and/or postulated by one source is one subtopic and should reference the full content somewhere else. --Designanddraft (talk) 21:52, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Agreed that this page refers to one instance of participatory politics (the theory of parpolity), whereas the phrase itself is now used heavily by academics and political practitioners for other purposes (those more closely related to Benjamin Barber's definition. see, e.g., ). Is it OK if I work some more accurate and modern explanations into this page and move Parpolity to a standalone page? — Civicked (talk) 18:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Requested move
{{subst:requested move|Parpolity|reason=This page currently promotes a single theory by a single academic. The primary topic for this page should rather be a broad-concept article on the far more extensive academic literature covering "participatory politics" (see, e.g., [Barber http://books.google.com/books/about/Strong_Democracy.html?id=2YbevnCXAhgC] as well as any Google Scholar search on the phrase). Parpolity, the theory this page currently covers, should be given a disambiguation page linked from the far more common primary topic page. Complicating this matter is the fact that current the page for Parpolity is automatically forwarding to Participatory politics.
