User talk:RoyGoldsmith/Tea Party proposal

By RoyGoldsmith
I propose that we delete the article Tea Party protests, 2009 and substitute individual articles about "Background of the Tea Party movement", "2009 Tax Day Tea Party protests", "2009 Independence Day Tea Party protests". (Taxpayer March on Washington already has its own article.]] I believe that the section on Tactics should be moved to Tea Party movement. My problem with Tea Party protests, 2009 as a separate article is that no one seems able to express what is common about the various sub-topics (and which doesn't apply to other 2009 protests).

We already have two lists (List of Tea Party protests, 2009 and List of Tea Party protests, 2010) that provide exhaustive references. If anyone knows of any reason why two or more TP protest events should be combined in one article, that's fine but we should state that reason in the title (like "Background of the Tea Party movement"). The disambiguation page "Tea party" should be expanded, as well as the See Also section in Tea Party movement. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 11:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
