Proposed Merger/Separation

I see that this has been discussed before but I agree that the 'The Liberal' magazine should be put mentioned as part of Benjamin Ramm's page and fails to warrant a separate page. Benjamin Ramm is a noted journalist but the modern incarnation of 'The Liberal' magazine does seem like a failed pet project. As I said on The Liberal's talk page:

Not only does this magazine no longer exist but it was hardly a significant publication when it did. The only citation on this page is a single article published by the magazine itself. That's not good enough, I'm afraid. It also seems slightly bizarre to describe the magazine in the info box as a continuation of 'The Liberal' magazine of the 1800s. The name of the modern magazine was merely a homage.--TamsinSpencer (talk) 16:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be merged with that of The Liberal Magazine's. --Wikimoderate (talk) 07:22, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No longer "Editor of The Liberal"

Ramm is no longer Editor of The Liberal: The magazine no longer exists. It printed its last issue in March 2009. Ramm keeps editing this wikipedia entry (and the wikipedia entry for The Liberal) himself, to suggest that the magazine still exists as an "online magazine". It doesn't. The website content has been static for 3 years. Ramm has posted 2 op-ed pieces on the website in 3 years. It's not a magazine, web-based or otherwise, by any definition. Although he does get an awful lot of press attention by still parading himself as an Editor, and since the paper always had a small readership, no-one seems to have noticed that it no longer exists...Unbound1827 (talk) 19:56, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge The Liberal

The article only has one source, its own site. There are other sources in old versions of the article, but the topic appears to fail the notability guideline, so I've proposed to merge the two articles. Peter James (talk) 16:11, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The stub for The Liberal is in-keeping with the format of entries for former publications: see, for example, The New Age and The Realist. The notability of the magazine's contributors warrants mention, as does its distinct ideological position.

Ramm article on Zweig in BBC Culture lately

First: Austria-Hungry (typed bold), then stating Franz-Joseph ruled the monarchy from 1867...as Franz-Joseph started his rule at the time of the 1848 revolts already, I wasn't in the mood anymore to continue to read this article.10:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)91.104.2.5 (talk)
