Left-wing extremism

 * Delete POV Stancel 23:58, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It would be more POV to delete this article and allow other articles on political extremism to exist than to keep it. I will put requests for expansion on the articles for both left- and right-wing extremism in an attempt to improve both articles. Harro5 00:01, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Extreme just means the farthest reach of something. In this case, left-wing ideology. Verifiable and NPOV. Double Blue  (Talk) 00:40, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - It is an actual form of political extremism, just like all the others (see also right-wing extremism. The fact that calling someone an extremist (of any flavor) is based on the point of view of the person doing the naming just means that we have to take special care to keep our article neutral, as in "Neutral Point of View", not that we have to delete the article.  -- Jonel 02:21, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. If this one goes, so should Right-wing extremism. If it's not written in neutral-enough POV, then someone ought to fix it. Donutz 03:23, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to a section under Left wing politics. This is nothing more than an "even more"  POV of an existing article.  I don't think that's a good basis for an article.  If Left wing politics is too large, this is NOT an appropriate splitting point.  --Unfocused 04:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see how this can work. Merge and redirect to Left wing politics. I'd vote similarly on right-wing extremism. Gazpacho 04:53, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Sadly Left-wing extremism is quite common and notable. Klonimus 06:00, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Despite what I think of the term (and I'll spare everyone that except to say that Klonimus is wrong!), it's notable enough. So... sigh... keep. El_C 06:13, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Real and notable phenomenon. Capitalistroadster 13:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Great stub! Pray that the team who have created it have the courage, wikilove (yes I do think it helps), thick skins and everything else they will need to keep it that way while still alowing it to grow, judging by some of the appalling political content and battles we host from time to time...!

 * Delete. This is pov, pure and simple. Same goes for Right-wing extremism. --Zantastik 20:05, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article has POV problems that don't seem likely to be solved.  It claims that left-wing extremism is an "objective category", when clearly it's subjective.  It uses "these people" in a sneering fashion.  Anything that could go here belongs in Left wing politics instead.  Quale 04:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep as per Harro5. —Markaci 2005-05-21 T 17:32 Z
