The "Balance of ecology and economics" section lacks reliable sources and thus comes across as

Another editor has since removed the GWPF citation. At this point, that entire section is unreferenced (though already flagged for

Is there anything at all redeemable about this page? Besides the first paragraph literally nothing is sourced (and those first few citations don't tell us anything about "green libertarianism"). Half of the information is irrelevant (the Hayek stuff especially), and the author of this page seems to be confusing two completely unrelated and disparate traditions, and is calling the end result green libertarianism. All this page seems to prove is that such a tendency doesn't exist. Is there anything here worth redeeming at all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:1AD2:7600:2572:CF97:2C35:A4D (talk) 06:06, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, just found this page. "Green Libertarianism" does seem to be a "thing", albeit a new one. Here are a couple of articles mentioning it:

1. Libertarianism: The New Reformist Movement? (alternet.com, 2007)
   
2. Johnson: Libertarian and Green Party do not cancel each other out (cnn.com, 2016)

So I don't think it's redundant, and do think it's worthwhile. In fact, the combination of Green and Libertarian works for me. Perhaps I can clean up the article to present this seeming contradiction in a more logical way. (No promises, though, LOL.)

Hello, I've just created an image to represent "green libertarianism", since a specific logo doesn't seem to exist yet. It's a combination of the logo for the US Libertarian Party (a torch with a yellow flame in the shape of an eagle) and the logo for the US Green Party (a yellow sunflower with a green center). The final image is the yellow sunflower of the Greens (instead of the yellow eagle) atop the Libertarian torch. I thought it worked out quite well, considering. :) Wanted to see what people thought about this before putting it on the page. Would it be weird to have such a logo, when the term "green libertarian" seems to be a fairly new one?

Here's the image:

The problems start with the opening sentence. As I mentioned in my January edit summary, I've been watching and occasionally editing this article for about 11 years, and in that time I haven't seen a

I did find this essay which appeared in Green Revolution (presumably a publication like a magazine or journal, but about which I know nothing). It describes potential areas of compromise between greens and libertarians but the two words don't appear together (e.g. "green libertarian") anywhere in the text. Instead the author identifies (elsewhere on that website) as geolibertarian which already has its own article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:00, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And I just remembered that this source was already mentioned under "Further reading." (I thought it looked familiar.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:44, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to nominate this at

WP:JUNK), but one of the links from that template led me to this source. It would appear to actually define green libertarianism (at least an idea, if not as a movement). It looks like paid access so I can't (yet) read the content. I'm not sure whether it's enough to hang this article on or not but maybe someone else can access it. Also possibly more here. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:26, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply
