Neoliberalism
This is a collection of definitions rather than a collection of quotes. — BD2412 T 22:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete or transwiki to Wiktionary . A list of definitions by various folks probably wouldn't really help Wikipedia's article. There currently is no Wiktionary article on neoliberalism, but I don't know if their formal transwiki system is any more active than ours. I notice that the word currently can be found in three places there:
 * Transwiki:List of isms — A 3-year-old transwiki copied from an unidentified source on 11 September 2005, probably Neo- (see below). The page itself was confusingly created the previous year as a redirect to List of isms (suggesting it was originally part of another informal transwiki), and the copying wasn't properly logged on Wiktionary or noted on its talk page, violating GFDL. Wiktionary seems to be using this highly irregular transwiki as a "requested entries" list for -isms. "Neoliberalism" was only added on 4 May 2007, although "neoconservativism" was part of the original list.
 * neo- — Incorporates a list of derived terms, including "neoliberalism", which was added on 22 June 2005, "taken in from transwiki" according to the edit summary. Again, the editor failed to comply with GFDL — he didn't identify the original article (Neo-, which fortunately was logged at Transwiki and executed by a bot that knew how to do transwikis), nor did he paste the relevant edit history to wikt:Talk:neo-. (To quote Charlie Brown, "Arrrggggh!")
 * User:Brian0918/Hotlist/N — One of 108 lists of apparent to-dos from a user (and I thought I was behind!) who hasn't been active since January 2007.
 * This makes me strongly lean toward "delete" because I don't believe Wiktionarians will be encouraged to create an article based on ours. What is really needed is a survey of dictionaries and encyclopedias (i.e., tertiary, neutral sources) to synthesize a general definition. In other words, it should be rewritten from scratch. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:15, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wiktionary does make fairly active use of "dicdefs" transwikied from Wikipedia, but they usually require so much reformatting as to make it cheaper to start from scratch. In light of your comments, however, I've made a wiktionary entry on neoliberalism. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete now that BD2412 has created a meaningful Wiktionary entry. Thanks! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and Jeff. ~ UDScott 16:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think it would fit Wiktionary either.--Poetlister 17:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per BD2412 and Jeff Q. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 17:24, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per BD2412 and Jeff Q too! -- Herby  talk thyme 17:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Neo- anything is rarely sensible.--Cato 22:04, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
