Talk:Partitionism

Missing the point
Partitionism is the acceptance of any of the trappings of partition, such as the border, the Northern Ireland Parliament (or the Northern Ireland Assembly) and the Oireachtas (referred to as "partitionist parliaments"). It is any position that regards "Ireland" as stopping at the border. It has nothing to do with "viewing people as separate and different". You can see the people of the north and south as one nation or as one family, and still have a partitionist mentality. The article, having given this misleading definition, becomes nothing more than a random collection of quotes with the word "partitionism" in them. The comment in the Derry Journal was perceptive, but was never intended as a definition. Some of the other quotes are apt, some are less so, but the overall effect of the article is to leave the reader with no idea what "partitionism" actually means.

Merge into United Ireland
I'd have thought this article would be better off merged into the United Ireland article. It doesn't really stand on its own very well as a separate article. Dmcq (talk) 18:18, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Would it not be better to continue the discussion at Talk:Partition of Ireland. Seems odd to have ongoing discussions on two different pages going in two different directions. Scolaire (talk) 21:59, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * That discussion isn't going anywhere. This is not about doing anything with the Partition of Ireland article. It is about removing this article and putting any content into the United Ireland article because this is another viewpoint on the topic of that article. I don't see the two different directions you ar talking about. Dmcq (talk) 22:21, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Follow my link, then. You are opening a discussion here on merging this article to United Ireland at exactly the same time (12 minutes later, to be precise) as somebody is responding to a proposal on the other page to merge this article to Partition of Ireland. Two different directions. Scolaire (talk) 22:51, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I think this article is perfectly fine by itself though if it is to be merged I think merging it with united Ireland would be better.Apollo The Logician (talk) 10:02, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
