Should we really have these lists of “examples” of authoritarian regimes? It seems pretty hacked together from sources that don’t often directly call one regime authoritarian. A similar List of dictators was deleted for what appear to be similar WP:NPOV issues. — HTGS (talk) 23:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support removal per WP:NOR, WP:NPOV. See also the list at Right-wing dictatorship, which is similarly full of poorly sourced opinion. - Rotary Enginetalk 02:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Removed "flawed democracy" by The Economist Democracy Index to reduce WP:NPOV. Suggest to more follow the different Democracy indices. HudecEmil (talk) 08:51, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Too subjective to call, even if we use a reliable index. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support section removal, a list is a very poor idea. However, removing this list of examples does not mean all examples, as others may be more appropriately and contextually included in wider prose. CMD (talk) 21:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
