Talk:List of political parties in Abkhazia

message: Just for the record, Amtsakhara has always been at that title, so I changed the link here. Furthermore, it's the title that always seems to be used in English - until I read it here, I didn't even know that its English name was Signal Lights. Ambi 00:23, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus against moving away from the common "list of" title. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 17:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: "List" in the title makes it clear that the article is just that: a list, and not an encyclopedic description of the subject.For instance, if I saw an article titled "List of political parties in Serbia", I would know that it's simply going to be a long table where each row is a link to a specific Serbian party, possibly with a few brief bits of data about each one. However, if the article was titled "Political parties in Serbia", I would expect it to give a thorough textual description of Serbia's party system, its history, its current state, important individuals, key organizations, etc.Since the articles in this RM seem to be just tables of links to parties by country, it's correct and helpful to title them as "lists". ╠╣uw [talk] 18:41, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Oppose: "List" for many nations might be as far as this goes for a great many nations, and is a good stoping place that covers the full topic since some smaller (fringe) parties may never even evolve to have a full article and thus since wikipedia censors if its there's redlinks in full articles it means further bias would creep into Wikipedia.

text: Oppose, a shift to non-list based articles is adventurist and broad, there's nothing wrong with how these articles are organized now. The perceived "benefit" of clarity that's being brought up is trite and unclear; growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. Castroonthemoon (talk) 21:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: For the sake of clarity, I'm not arguing that the content of any or all of the articles here  expand. Some might, and if a meaningful expansion, that's great. I'm merely arguing that those which remain simply as lists (which could be most if not all) are not less clear to the reader by being titled simply as Political parties in Ruritania.

text: Oppose per reasons listed above. CanonNi (talk) 01:56, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Support. Some articles, like the List of political parties in Indonesia, already rather more detailled descriptions, than a list, and other will non-list later. What for co-existing Pol. par in... and List of pol. par. in...? DayakSibiriak (talk) 03:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: so a list can't be detailed? Castroonthemoon (talk) 06:10, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We can. And will more exect under titles Political parties in... If remain list titles, users wull create dupl pages Political parties in... only for description. Better to settle a matter now. DayakSibiriak (talk) 06:49, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Oppose per the arguments made above, particularly precision for the naming of lists FortunateSons (talk) 23:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Oppose: In conjunction with the previous arguments, I agree that this makes the subject of the articles too ambiguous and broad, especially for larger countries with many active and former political parties. For smaller countries, like the European microstates, maybe. However, for the sake of clarity and consistency I wouldn't consider it. Probably a redirect at best.

text: Question: Why can't there be an overview and list of political parties of a given region? OzzyOlly (talk) 17:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd argue there can/should be if either the prose overview or list on a single article get too long. toobigtokale (talk) 17:52, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
