Article title?

Should we call this article: Defects of Communism? Or Assessment of Communism or Assessment of Marxism? TitoDutta 04:33, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

"Views of Other Faiths" is an old article, dating back to 1957 (Jamalpur). The original (and official) source is not "A Few Problems Solved", but rather "Tattvika Praveshika". Unfortunately, there are numerous problems with this article (including even the title of the article). The original language of the discourse was probably Bengali, but there is almost certainly no tape recording of the discourse. However, it seems that the original book ("Tattvika Praveshika") may have been published in English. This means that what we have is probably just a compilation of notes and a dubious translation into English (which, in 1987 or 1988, was then retranslated from that English back into Bengali). The article that is currently in circulation (from 1988) has been heavily redacted (especially in respect to the section on semitic religions), and so - all in all - this is not the most reliable article to quote from. My recommendation would be to title this article: "Communism, defects of" (with a redirect to it from "Defects of Communism"), but I would request that the content of this article be supplemented with (and, if need be, superseded by) the three articles entitled "Defects of Communism" published in the "PROUT in a Nutshell" series. --Abhidevananda (talk) 04:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
  • "Communism, defects of" is not an encyclopedic name. --TitoDutta 06:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Okay, then let it be "Defects of Communism" (perhaps with a redirect from "Communism, defects of"... at your discretion). :) --Abhidevananda (talk) 07:09, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
  • It may take some time to read all Communism-related articles. I was going to do gradually. From another point of view, if we are going to create a series of articles "Capitalism- Defects" "Buddhism - Defect" "Shankaracharya - Defects" and so on, we can create a separate MoS, there "Communism, defects of" is fine. PROUT Globe has an article named Defects of Communism. This article can be incubated. We do not have incubation, but we have SV:DRAFTS TitoDutta 07:34, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
