WikiProject Libertarianism seeks to improve Wikipedia's articles on all aspects of libertarianism. This includes coverage of the different libertarian philosophies and alternatives, as well as libertarian political action, parties and candidates worldwide. It also seeks to improve Wikipedia articles on political and economic subjects that are sorely lacking in analysis of how government policies negatively affect society, using reliably sourced material from libertarian-oriented academics and experts, as well as relevant material published in mainstream sources.

Importance scale

WikiProject article importance scheme
v
t
e
Importance	Criteria	Example
Top	The article covers a core topic about libertarianism. Generally, this is limited to those few articles that are included as sections in the main Libertarianism article.	Libertarianism, Austrian School
High	The article covers a topic that is vital to a non-lay person understanding of libertarianism. This includes key libertarians that may not be well-known to the general public.	Milton Friedman, Free Trade
Mid	The article covers a topic that has a very strong role in a specific field or strain of libertarianism. Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved very high notability in that particular place or area.	Dispute resolution organization
Low	Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article.	Libertarian Movement (Italy)
NA	Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc.	Category:Libertarianism
???	Subject importance has not yet been assessed.

Please note that libertarianism is a political philosophy. If there is an article about a Libertarian Party nominee for any office, it should be ranked by the individual's personal notability as low, medium or high, as well as whether running for that office in itself confers substantial notability per a sufficient number of reliable sources.
