Why does this page even exist? Shouldn't it be folded into a page on libertarianism?

Ideally, yes. But the page on libertarianism would probably be about 70 pages long if we included all the subarticles (economic views, legal views, views on rights, anarcho-capitalism, minarchism, and views on intellectual property, Objectivism, privatizing natural resources, foreign policy, immigration and so on). As a compromise, the most important issues get a paragraph (or a bit more) and the less important ones get links to pages like this one with a sentence summarizing it in the main article. If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it, because this really isn't a perfect system. Dave (talk) 03:42, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

This links from the section Libertarianism in the USA->issues->capital punishment. I believe the article would need to have a purely American subject and it is not an "issue" with the article. Warmallis0n (talk) 08: 06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Issues with article

I think it would be good to talk about left-libertarian perspectives on capital punishment in the United States in this article. Left-libertarianism is not as prominent or well-known as right-libertarianism in the US, though, so I think the article should still focus more on right-libertarian perspectives. I also think this article could use some expansion, and more citations. Lastly, I don't think the article entirely follows Wikipedia's WP:NPOV guideline. The article and its tone is also written more like an essay in some ways. I put a NPOV template at the top of the page. JoeSmoe2828 (talk) 21:59, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
