On 15 December 2012, R'n'B suggested that this page should be converted into a broad-concept article, describing the primary meaning of the term. I strongly disagree with this. First, there is no such extant topic. The constitutional part of the concept is fully covered in the Constitution article: A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed. There is nothing particular about Libya that would change that. A constitutional discussion of the The Green Book of Muammar Gaddafi and its principles belongs at that article, although I have not found sources dealing with such a conceptual discussion. For these and similar reasons there is no such article for other countries, with the possible exception of the United Kingdom which does not have a written constitution, but whose governing principles are discussed in the Constitution of the United Kingdom article. Additionally, there are no sources for a conceptual discussion of the primary meaning of "Libyan Constitution" above and beyond the mere mention of proposed fundamental principles that might be used to govern Libya. Those belong in an article about the drafting of the new Libyan constitution if such an article would be encyclopedic. In general identified principles are specific to each constitution, and, to the extent that they are shared by a number of constitutions, are discussed at the Constitution and related articles. --Bejnar (talk) 20:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
