Talk:The Orange Book

Merge completion request

As a consensus has been reached that the article Orange Book liberalism be merged with this article I would request an admin to kindly complete this merge so as to delist the article from the merge list. Thanks and regards Wikishagnik (talk) 15:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 Done Please note that in most cases, a user doesn't have to be an admin to carry out a merge—in fact, I'm not. See Wikipedia:Merging and Help:Merging for more information, and WikiProject Merge if you'd like to help with the rather considerable merge backlog. --BDD (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

The Orange Book: Reclaiming Liberalism → The Orange Book – Per WP:SUBTITLE. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 00:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

• This one doesn't seem obvious - the subtitle seems relevant here, this isn't such a toweringly significant book that it "owns" the title of Orange Book. See Orange Book disambiguation page, subtitle is useful disambiguation here, the word "The" is sketchy disambiguation. SnowFire (talk) 04:37, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

  the word "The" is sketchy disambiguation. How do you reconcile that view with WP:SMALLDETAILS, SnowFire? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 02:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nom. All sources refer to it without the subtitle, and there is no other article on WP that would take the title The Orange Book. In fact, this simply reverses a redirect that has been pointing to this article since 2006. Station1 (talk) 22:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

The ideology section of this page is essentially unusable

It provides exactly zero information with respect to the ideological underpinnings or policy positions of so-called “Orange Book Liberals.” I literally have to go find the book to have any sense at all of what’s in it. 141.156.196.94 (talk) 05:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Lloyd George's Orange Book

We'd need a citation (not least as it's perfectly possible that the title was simply a coincidence to begin with - one must be careful not to jump to conclusions), but is the title a deliberate echo of Lloyd George's Orange Book of the late 1920s, "We Can Conquer Unemployment"? There was also a Green Book on agriculture (natch), a Yellow Book on Industry, one on Coal etc etc.Paulturtle (talk) 17:02, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
