Libertarian Nationalism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article appears to be about a made-up subject. There is no evidence "Libertarian Nationalism" has academic recognition as an actual topic. Sources used appear to be blogs. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 20:36, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I was about to nominate it for AfD myself but FreeKnowledgeCreator beat me to it. The topic fails to meet WP:GNG.  I went through the article's sources and the article is primarily an aggregation of content from non-reliable sources, opinion pieces or sources that aren't actually about the article topic but contain the words "libertarian" and "nationalism" somewhere in the text.  I also tried to find sources myself and did not find any.  OK, let's go through the sources cited one at a time:
 * zerothposition.com - Not a reliable source.
 * beinglibertarian.com - Not a reliable source.
 * dbknews.com - Opinion piece from student newspaper. Although the words "libertarian" and "nationalism" are found in the op-ed, it's not actually about "libertarian nationalism".
 * washingtonpost.com - Again, it contains the words "libertarian" and "nationalist" but nothing about "libertarian nationalism".
 * mises.org - Not a reliable source.
 * anarchistnotebook.com Not a reliable source.
 * radicalcapitalist.org - Not a reliable source.
 * merionwest.com - Opinion piece from a questionable source. It contains the  words "libertarian" and "nationalist" but not about "libertarian nationalism" except perhaps passing mention in one sentence.

 * Delete, possibly "speedy" -- WP:OR & WP:ADVOCACY, as in: "...a subset of the political far-right and libertarian party who are proud of their roots and of their heritage", stated in Wikipedia voice. Analysis of sources above is compelling to illustrate that this article is inapproproate synthesis on a nn topic. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:40, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This seems to be a fairly glaring case of WP:OR. The sources (those that are RS, anyway) fail to describe this in anything other than a type of convenience description. Chetsford (talk) 07:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Apart from OR, this seems to be a POV fork of libertarian conservatism. --Omnipaedista (talk) 08:35, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
