request to split Post–World War II neoliberal currents section into Post–World War II neoliberalism to aid in reducing length which is 14370 words Cognsci (talk) 21:13, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
SupportI changed my support to an Oppose !vote based on Altorespite's later comment. Iljhgtn (talk) 21:48, 28 April 2025 (UTC)- Support split as the post-WWII section is unbelievably long. It could be an entire article atp. 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 22:53, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - While I get the problem at hand, neoliberalism is overwhelmingly referred to because of its rise after WWII, especially post-70s. If we want to reduce length, it would be better and more valuable to create new Neoliberalism in [Country] pages so we can shorten the parent article. Altorespite 🌿 23:34, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. The solution to the length issue is trimming the section, not splitting. It was really only implemented in force after WWII, so "Post–World War II neoliberalism" is largely redundant. — Goszei (talk) 07:47, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, I support Altorespite's proposition of making new pages by country as I its a better solution. ErickTheMerrick (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose: I am in favor of splitting the page into independent articles for each country (or region if sufficiently interdependent in content and short in length). Shortening the main to a reasonable size should be much easier after. Pragmatic Puffin (talk) 15:01, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose; Neoliberalism, by its nature, didn't become widespread until after World War II. Altorespite's idea of creating independent articles for each country is a better solution, and we can transfer a lot of the country-specific info there. Trimming the section is better than splitting.

- Comment - If this page was hypothetically split into two articles, Post–World War II neoliberalism and Pre–World War II neoliberalism, how long would each of the pages be? Moondragon21 (talk) 18:04, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- the pre-world war II article would likely be a stub and far shorter than the post-world war II one, which is why I'm against splitting. if we did that, we'd be having a conversation about merging the articles again within 6 months ApexParagon (talk) 23:45, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. It would make more sense to have a split after the 2008 financial crisis, since most European and American political parties are responding to that, not WWII. Even then, that article would also likely be a stub too. Catboy69 (talk) 15:04, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per Altorespite and Catboy69. I also agree with Altorespite's and Catboy69's suggestions for reducing the article length. Zero Contradictions (talk) 01:31, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
