Neo-populism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Neologism not widely used. Dentren |  Ta lk  12:05, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * To complicate matters it appears to be a genuine albeit niche term from early-2000s academia that has been co-opted by a lawyer called Erick Kaardal, who has an interesting history. He was recently sanctioned over a quarter of a million dollars for a batty lawsuit. He has also published a book about neopopulism. A cynical editor might draw a negative conclusion from this. Of course, I understand that we have to assume good faith, so I suggest that the article should be redirected to populism - the term appears to have no life except as a footnote. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:24, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

 * A redirect could be fine. Any content of this matter should of course be sourced after the redirect. I got the feeling that the article or term was created as a pun on Neoliberalism and populism, to label detractors of "neoliberaism" as "neopopulists".

 * Merge Populism has a large section for Latin America where neopopulism is mentioned once under Latin America#Populist Socialism. It can be expanded upon there. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 11:50, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * My specific suggestion is a section titled Populism. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 12:10, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete "populism" is one of the squishiest, fuzziest terms in political writing. This article offers is useless because it offers no definition and no sources for the undefined "neo-populism" it promotes.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge into populism, per above. The Populism suggestion sounds best to me. Ajraddatz (talk) 02:07, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
