This subject needs only what it gets

[edit]

Cleanup tag deleted. Considering that the page has:

  • A context: given by the list of political systems in the right box
  • A right size: 2 sections of 10 lines.
  • Effective explainations: enough to understand and go further.
  • This is one of 700 articles in a backlog in a month dating more than 1 year.

If the article is improved, fine. If it does not, fine too.

Merger Proposal

[edit]

I think that kritarchy and kritocracy should be merged. While there is a section in each article that compares them, this section seems like original research. It is uncited and contradicts the normal dictionary definition of kritarchy. There is no dictionary entry for kritocracy. Some of the external links insist that kritarchy is bound by natural law, but none mention the term kritocracy to suggest that there is a distinction. Moreover, to say that kritarchy refers to more than just the rule of the Judges in Israel, but instead is the rule of judges in general, if only when they are governed by natural law, seems POV-pushing. For example, the idea that the Judges ruled by natural law is contested by everyone who doubts that natural law is compatible with the Biblical view. "Kritocracy" certainly seems like a neologism, and so the article should go. RJC TalkContribs 14:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agree They seem too similar to be put in separate articles. This is a stub anyway. ForestAngel (talk) 02:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Xeer is not Sharia

[edit]

The article seems to be confusing Xeer with Sharia. Both may be examples of Kritarchy and both may occur in Somalia, but they are not the same. The Islamic Courts Union uses Sharia which is based on the Qur'an and the Hadith, that is, the sayings and works of Muhammad. Clan elders use Xeer which is based on their traditions and reason.

Druid Judges

[edit]

Brehons were not druids, in fact we have almost no information about druids in Ireland, their presence is effectively inferred from source material from Gaul and Britain. The Brehon law also continued far, far longer than Celtic polytheism in Ireland. Adhiyana (talk) 16:36, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Nephites in Book of Mormon

[edit]

The Nephites in the Book of Mormon had a kritarchy after Mosiah II in about 91 BC, do I put this in popular culture since there is no archeological record of it? I think it is a notable example. Rotorjet (talk) 18:07, 18 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

You would really need to provide citations where other people call it a kritarchy. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 18:21, 3 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
