On 22 August 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Theory of imperialism to Theories of imperialism. The result of the discussion was moved.

Proposal to move

Proposal to move “Theory of Imperialism” to “Marxian Theory of Imperialism” as it is typically associated with Marxian Economics. Jfw6369 (talk) 00:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jfw6369, I am currently re-writing this low-quality article to greatly expand its scope and properly discuss all theories of imperialism, not just Marxian ones. There are many important theories of imperialism not associated with Marxist economics, such as JA Hobson.Mirkyton (talk) 23:40, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Major update, added to Socialism and Globalization projects

I have written a major update to this article to reflect the diversity and notability of many concepts in the field of imperialism studies. It is also now the topic header for the imperialism studies category and sidebar. It has also been added to the wikiprojects for socialism and globalization due to its relevance to these areas.Mirkyton (talk) 05:53, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theory of imperialism → Theories of imperialism – This article now refers to more than one theory of imperialism, whereas initially it only referred to the Leninist theory. The "theories of imperialism" page would be more appropriate, but is currently a redirect page.

Support: The article has multiple theories now and the title should reflect that. ––FormalDude talk 00:26, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This is an example of Articles on groups or classes of specific things as described at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals). It should be the plural form. Andrewa (talk) 15:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This will overwrite a mess of good faith move warring and cut-and-paste moves. I normally preserve such histories but do not think that this one needs preserving. This RM is the way to go now and will hopefully lead to stability, and we all move on. Andrewa (talk) 15:29, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move warring is possibly a bit of an overstatement since it was more my lack of understanding of the proper procedure that led to the back-and-forth, and its worth noting that both of us actually support the move as far as I know. Mirkyton (talk) 22:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mirkyton Yes, no complaints about your behaviour or theirs (and otherwise I would have wanted the history preserved), I did you will note call it good faith move warring... and also both supported the move and implicitly commended you for raising the RM. I might even be the only one who gave a valid argument supporting the move. See also wp:creed#bold. Keep up the learning and the willingness to be part of the team, and all the best.

This article should be renamed to "Left Theories of Imperialism" and obtain a criticism section

The article is much more extensive than the prior but has the obvious POV of simply labelling it "Theories of Imperialism" when it is really theories of Imperialism from a left wing tendency, regarding capitalism as intertwined with imperialism. Further, there is little or no criticism given to these theories. GClevelandFan (talk) 03:56, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
