Talk:political spectrum

SOP
This seems SOPpy. Also, putting "communism" and "Nazism" as the leftmost and rightmost possible positions doesn't seem quite right (what of authoritarian theocracies or anarchism?). - -sche (discuss) 08:51, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * If you think "political spectrum" is a WT:SOP, then go ahead and WT:RFD it. Also, I replaced "communism" with "anarchism". EhSayer (talk) 04:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

RFD discussion: June–December 2018
"The spectrum of political viewpoints represented as a continuum..." Seems SOP. Many spectra are represented by continua, and have extremes (e.g. the spectrum of visible light), so those aspects of the definition don't seem to confer any idiomaticity. - -sche (discuss) 02:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC) Maybe at least could become a translation hub (there's  which is a single word)? -84.161.37.130 03:40, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree, but there's also light spectrum--should that be treated the same? --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 03:26, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * There are also and  (and also, , , , ).
 * Keep along with all the examples. They all have distinct meanings, because you will not know from the parts what dimension is the basis of the continuum. And some of these are not a continuum, but are point/lines on a continuum. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:14, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
