Talk:Political entrepreneur

An article in need of assessment

Presently, this article is not in good condition--although, it has good potential to be a good article. A specific list of people who ARE considered to be Political entrepreneurs would help (Ross Perot? or Ralph Nader? or people who start political think tanks or lobbying groups?). I will assess this article and continue to revise it.

Also--the original author (User:RJII) of this article has been blocked indefinitely from Wikipedia; can anyone shed any light on that subject? Thank you. ProfessorPaul 04:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RJII was banned after openly admitting that he was editing wikipedia to promote libertarian/"free market" bias. -- Nikodemos 04:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology

I think this article entirely misses the point. A political entrepreneur means someone who demonstrates political entrepreneurialism which is a recognised term in political science to denote a person, often an outsider, who sees and exploits a political opportunity or creates a new form of political mobilisation (cf 1 or 2 or 3 or 4). It does not mean a politically-active businessman, even if the same term is sometimes applied as a joke (like 1). Only the former is notable —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:17, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
