Bad governance

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This page is just the opposite of Good governance. It's completely redundant and treads the same grounds as the Good governance article. It's a poorer version of Good governance. If there is anything worth keeping, it can be merged with Good governance. The existing of both articles lead to watered down articles, as editor contributions are spread across two articles.

 * Comment The article is obviously garbage, and seems mostly a mishmash of corruption and basically "this thing which is the opposite of good governance is basically bad governance". However, there might be something more to it. There's some evidence to suggest scholars view "bad governance" as a unique phenomenon worthy of study that is more than "not good" governance. See here and here. Of course, considering the state of the article, this might be worth just redirecting for the time being. -Indy beetle (talk) 20:10, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure if an AfD was necessary for this. The issue is that both articles should be merged into a single article and improved. Anybody can do this per WP:BOLD. Otinflewer (talk) 04:47, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * This has been relisted but it had to be closed as no consensus and allow discussion on talk page to combine the both articles. Otinflewer (talk) 16:02, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
