Political taxonomy

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Made-up term that does not appear to be in wide use. 1400-ish Google Hits, most of which are obscure blog posts or Wikipedia copies. No sources or references in article. Lankiveil 08:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources or indication of usage - apparently made up. Frickeg 02:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm thinking that this is likely to be elsewhere on WP already, but its a legitimate topic. I'll add a citation from a Google Books search. Smmurphy(Talk) 03:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * hmm, looking now, I'd say redirect/merge with the "other empirical and conceptual problems" section of form of government. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I merged the info to form of government. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,


 * Redirect per Smmurphy. Looks like a "political taxonomy" is just a method of classification of forms of government.  The source in the article (which you can see at Amazon) suggests that coming up with these classifications is or was a sub-field of political science.  If someone wants to pad out the article in the future, the redirect can of course be undone.  Pan Dan 17:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
