replies: text: Honestly it could go straight to AfD. It appears to be a non-notable ideology promoted in a non-notable dissertation and then published into a non-notable book. Disproportionate weight for one individual's personal theory which hasn't received substaintal recognition outside of his own writings. — Czello (music) 09:05, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, is there a book? In the Gateway Echo in 2020, a book called "Tupocracy: Leadership by example for the Church and Civil society" is described, with special mention of a 4th edition in 2018. But I can't find it actually for sale anywhere, or find the publisher, or an ISBN. Can anybody help? I'd like to AfD Tupocracy, but knowing about the book would be helpful. Does it exist? Is it self-published? Does it have an ISBN? Bishonen | tålk 15:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm talking about the book that's mentioned in the article, here. I wasn't aware of the one you mentioned – so there are at least two. Both are written by the man who coined the term, though, so I'm not sure it improves notability. — Czello (music) 17:16, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Hello, I had a question considering the UK general election has just been called today. 
Currently there is an article called Labour Party leadership of Keir Starmer which details Starmer's time as the Leader of the party so far. However, all prime ministers have a 'Premiership of __' article. If Starmer does become the next prime minister (which looks likely), what should happen to the 'leadership' article? Should it be merged into the 'Premiership' article or kept separate as an article on his time in opposition? It is already quite long as it is. Thanks Michaeldble (talk) 21:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that a new convention has formed regarding the ideology parameter, which is to only put one or two all-encompassing ideologies (see Labour Party (UK)). It used to be the case that the ideology parameter had five or so more specific entries that gave the reader a good impression of the party at a glance (see Bharatiya Janata Party).
In light of this, I think there should be a 'key positions' parameter which has, say maximum five entries which editors agree on, including regarding their order, and they would be based on citations from recent academia. The policy on this could distinguish between social, economic, national, and international positions to ensure a wide coverage. A national one could be say Unionism for a UK party, and an international one could be Euroscepticism for a European party. Alexanderkowal (talk) 13:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Hi!
'Branches of government' is currently a redirect to separation of powers. I think readers and editors would be better served by the development of 'branches of government' (or a similarly named article) as a separate topic.
A descriptive, empirical taxonomy of institutional divisions of different countries' governments is a worthwhile endeavor in comparative government. But it is such a large topic on its own that it seriously unbalances and unduly lengthens the article on separation of powers. I would like to re-focus the latter article on the principle propounded by political philosophers, its reception by constitutions, and its technical implementation in constitutional law.
Of course, the principle of separating powers is the reason for the existence of different arms of government; but I think the two subjects need to be notionally distinguished. All the more so since their conflation is, to my mind, at the root of the poor quality (start class) of the 'separation of powers' article.
There is certainly a lot of interest in the institutional structure and in branches of government as a topic—just see the recent AfC request for a separate 'executive branch of the United States federal government' article. I think 'branches of government' is definitely deserving and capable of being its own article.
What do you think? I'd be glad of your input on my proposal (at the separation of powers talk page). §§ LegFun §§ talk §§ 21:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Hello, I'd be interested in hearing your opinions concerning officeholder tables. There is some difference of opinion concerning placement of elections in tables. As I see it, tables should follow a logical structure. Going from most common/important information to least common/important information, to allow readers to consistency across all officeholder tables. Across all officeholder tables you can expect the central information of NAME and some type of DATES. This is in principale the only information needed, everything else is used to expand and explain these two pieces of information. 
Name	Dates
Bob 	1910-1930
Jeff	1930-1950
All political tables will include political party, and only some of them will include elections. Hence it makes sense to have the layout follow this logic. Otherwise, you end up with pages like List of presidents of the Dominican Republic, List of heads of state of Ghana and List of heads of state of Sierra Leone, where every table changes layout from the pervious. With inconsistency across all officeholder tables.  has a different opinion, but I will let him make his own points. I look forward to hearing your opinions. Skjoldbro (talk) 09:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I am now writing here, as unfortunately no review of this section has happened during the last months, and I am hoping that someone from this Wiki Project has the interest and the resources to take a look at it.
