What happened to the other four parties?

This article previously listed four other parties as being members of Italian Left when it was still a coalition (The Labour Party, The Network 2018, the Party of the South, and the Sicilian Socialist Party). They were recently removed without an explanation. Does anyone know if they merged into the new party or not? Charles Essie (talk) 18:54, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The four cited parties were not merged into SI. Also the South Tyrolean Greens are no longer affiliated with SI, were not merged into it and are not an associate party of it, as 93.32.74.54 correctly pointed out by editing the article. --Checco (talk) 21:18, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Checco: What about the Venetian Left? They're still on the list but the article doesn't say if they've merged into Italian Left or not? Charles Essie (talk) 20:35, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was merged into SI, but it was a tiny party, with no deputies, senators and regional councillors, and very few sources mentioning it. I would not mention it in the article's text, but just in the list, and I will try to find more sources on it. --Checco (talk) 05:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Facebook page of Venetian Left clearly shows that the party supports Italian Left. --Checco (talk) 08:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox: proliferation of ideologies?

I say no and I kindly ask to anyone wanting to add ideologies to seek consensus in this talk page first. There are surely socialist parties that are also socially conservative, but they are quite exceptions, and there are hardly parties that are both eco-socialist and conservative. Indeed, "democratic socialism" and "eco-socialism" are quite enough to describe Italian Left in its infobox. There is no need to add a long list of redundant ideologies. The party is definitely also progressive, green, feminist, socially liberal, to some extent left-libertarian, anti-fascist, anti-nationalist, anti-American, pro-Israel and many other things, but all those ideologies or political stances are not relevant for the infobox. Of course, one can expand the "ideology" section, but I do not see any need to add anything else to "democratic socialism" and "eco-socialism" in the infobox.

Scrivo in italiano se non è un problema, dato che leggo che sei veneto: il numero di ideologie segnate nella infobox di un partito varia da pagina a pagina. Sinistra Italiana ora ne ha due (nella pagina inglese), l'ACP per esempio ne ha 7, ma "progressismo" non è ridondante in quanto non ha a che fare con il fatto che il partito sia socialista. Io posso pensare che un partito socialista debba essere progressista per forza, ma la mia opinione non vale su wikipedia, e quindi deve essere supportata da una fonte che lo affermi esplicitamente. Perché non dovrebbe essere rilevante il fatto che è progressista, se l'Infobox (che da una panoramica sul partito) deve definire velocemente la sua ideologia, e se consideriamo il fatto che socialismo e progressismo sono due piani (economico e sociale) diversi?

Fully agree – infoboxes are there to be a brief summary, not a section of the article in its own right. Information should be kept to a broad overview, including using broadly descriptive ideologies, rather than listing all possible ideological trends and factions.— Autospark (talk) 20:31, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
