An IP has recently deleted material supported by www.ontheissues.org/ & other sources. Discussion is invited as to whether these sources are WP:RS. (The material is now restored.) – S. Rich ( talk) 22:16, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm trying to be objective but this is objective: He's Mr. drone strikes, gun control, and NSA spying. What he supports is the opposite of what anyone with libertarian leanings would support. Andrew Cuomo for one, Patrick, and Richardson also don't fit the criteria to belong here. Wyden would have a much more legit case. J390 ( talk) 06:52, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
This article is going to suffer repeated EW as long as we have the "libertarian-leaning" terminology for the description. It leaves the door open inclusion of Obama (and others) simply because OTI's grid shows the particular Democrats as supporting positions in the libertarian grid. I propose that the "libertarian-leaning" parameter be replaced with "who are described as libertarian or who have been endorsed by Libertarian parties." (This parameter can be applied to the other parties, in which case Senator Paul gets a libertarian leaning description because there is RS which says so.) Comments? – S. Rich ( talk) 19:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Awaiting comments. In the meantime, I'll propose to change the parameter to say "who are described as libertarian or libertarian-leaning by commentators, or who have been endorsed by Libertarian political parties." (And I'm going to post a comment on the Libertarianism Project talk page.) – S. Rich ( talk) 05:43, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
