Talk:Political analyst

I recreated this deleted redirect because it goes to a different destination that is much less suggestive that political scientists and political analysts are the same thing. In addition, political analysis already redirects to political science. While I do not want to in any way elevate the idiots on television that claim to be political analysts to the level of any kind of scientist, I think that "political analyst", "political analysis" and similar terms need to redirect somewhere, have their own article, have a Wiktionary entry/redirect, or have a disambiguation page. In my opinion, they are too commonly used to just delete the redirects and ignore them. Actually, I kind of like the idea of the terms all going to the political science article, which does not even mention the supposed political analysts on television, in newspapers or in any other media.

In addition, an article on the supposed job of political analyst on television is not noteworthy enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, in my opinion, although I have a higher standard than most. I might support making it a Wiktionary entry. However, if anyone feels differently, I will delete the redirect and not recreate it until we can come to a consensus on how to proceed. If you want to contact me for anything, you will need to leave a message on my user talk page, not this talk page. Thank you, Kjkolb (talk) 00:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
