Neo-Trotskyism

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

This article has had no citations since 2009 and amounts to little more than a stub. Upon research, I have only found two articles mentioning the term. One is from the Indian communist journal Revolutionary Democracy, which doesn't actually use the term "neo-Trotskyism" in the text, but instead appears to be a broad "anti-revisionist" treatise aimed at criticising many non-Stalinist tendencies. The other is a more thoroughly-researched article from the Foreign Policy Journal on how "neo-Trotskyists" lay the groundwork for neoconservatism, but it never uses the term "Neo-Trotskyism" either.

I can only conclude that "neo-Trotskyism" is a non-existent tendency and that "Neo-Trotskyist" is little more than a label. Given the lack of clear notability for this article, I suggest it be deleted. Grnrchst (talk) 18:48, 16 September 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * The Foreign Policy Journal may or may not be well-researched, but it does not appear to meet Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source. It seems that it was totally under the control of one person in the time that it was published. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok then, so out of the only two sources I could find on the subject, neither are reliable. This article definitely needs to be deleted. Grnrchst (talk) 08:34, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:FORK, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:BLP. It seems to be fairly clearly a POV fork of Trotskyism. There are no sources, and few are available. By naming names to supposedly ascribe to a controversial idea, it violates BLP. Bearian (talk) 14:43, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
