Proposed merge

[edit]

I'm not sure the term 'Hansonism' really exists as a concept enough to merit a separate article. It's not uncommon to stick 'ism' after a prominent politician's name. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 11:31, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 13:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hansonisn is Trumpism

[edit]

Check the talk page for Trumpism, with the latest subject being how Pauline Hanson is a Trumpist with a lot of sources, and many, many comparisons to Donald Trump. This article should just be renamed "Trumpism in Australia". 2001:8003:AD13:F800:8422:E091:4411:722D (talk) 09:09, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Word "wildly" in lead

[edit]

Shouldn't it be "widely"? AnonMoos (talk) 23:24, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Fixed. HiLo48 (talk) 00:34, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A better comparison is needed.

[edit]

"She is widely considered to be the Australian equivalent of Donald Trump." is extremely problematic. She was not close to becoming the leader in Australia, nor does a Prime-Minister and President do the same role. Perhaps a comparison to MTG is more suitable to properly scale her importance in the Australian government, while being as close to a comparison of a politician from a different country.

I also don't know how you can quantify the word "widely believed" either through an opinion piece. The highest number reported was 13% One Nation preference for Hanson's home state in the listed source - that's not close to widely by any traditional definition. Perhaps a "Her shared political beliefs are noted by some as an Australian oriented version comparable to MTG/Trump". Titaniumman23 (talk) 05:04, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What's MTG? HiLo48 (talk) 05:18, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Now I know, but I doubt if most Australians would know who that person is. Not a good comparison to use in an article on an Australian phenomenon. HiLo48 (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, I just checked the article and it seems the comparison has been removed altogether anyways. - Yours Faithfully, GA Melbourne ( T | C ) 01:54, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
