Does not meet notability criteria. There is no such *defined* movement, just a general trend towards methodological pluralism, which is already covert in this article. This fork is nothing but trivia and the (self?)promotion of some selective publications. Mootros (talk) 06:57, 25 May 2012 (UTC) Mootros (talk) 06:57, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Perestroika, if there is anything worth saving. Else, Redirect to Perestroika. Agree that it's a fork, at best. Roodog2k (talk) 17:25, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, didn't you mean to say merge/redirect with methodological pluralism? Mootros (talk) 02:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge - Merge fork. Target choice to closer, but merge/redirect with methodological pluralism seems reasonable. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 06:38, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted previous relisting placed transcluded discussion in the June 1 2011 deletion log, procedural relisting to current year.

Keep - This has got nothing to do whatsoever with perestroika. Sources showing in the footnotes are sufficient for this topic to pass GNG. I have tried to render the lead into English, so y'all might want to take a look at it again. Severe problems remain with the body of the piece, but that is an editing matter, not a notability matter. Carrite (talk) 03:59, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I'm the furthest thing from an expert in the field, but I do see reliable sources. It does appear to be notable within the scope of Political Science, just not sure how notable... Roodog2k (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
