Possible wars between liberal democracies
Ultramarine keeps inserting this piece of advocacy of the position that no two democracies have ever gone to war. It's been deleted twice; now he's made it into a table. Septentrionalis 20:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * ''Full disclosure: The first deletion discussion was at a name I moved it to; I opposed deletion then, and wanted a name I could remember. Another name might have been better, but this one does describe all three versions of the article.


 * Speedy delete G4: Substantial recreation of deleted article; still irreparably POV. I voted against deletion as a possible resource, but since the original exists in user space here, I see no reason to retain. Septentrionalis 20:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Very different articles with very different material and sources. The Democratic peace theory is one of the main subjects in political science. The question of whether there has been any wars between liberal democracies is one of the main topics. The article now extensively cites several scholarly books on the subject.Ultramarine 21:25, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This article, like its previous versions, represents the view of two or three authors within DPT. Ultramarine is the author of this article; he declines to recognize that WP is not a blog. Septentrionalis
 * It cites extensively from several academic books on the subject. I think it fairly represents the views of the researchers. If something is missing, it can be easily added.Ultramarine 21:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge with Democratic peace theory. --Dakart 21:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
