Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis

In order to distinguish the Manhattan Institute from the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis (www.manhattanpsychoanalysis.com) should I first create a listing for the organization? After which we can add redirectors from the MI listing and from the MIP listing that clarify the different organizations?

Right Wing?

I think calling something "Right Wing" rather than simply conservative has PoV issues. That aside, MI is generally known for concentrating on practical solutions to policy problems, rather than doctrinaire ideological positions. Calling MI "free-market" might be more accurate and fair. Scharferimage 04:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with "free-market". I don't think "right wing" belongs because it's POV, imprecise and un-encyclopedic. What does "right wing" mean? Can you give a source for a definition? I might accept "conservative", but that's imprecise too. Nbauman 01:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Are Floyd Flake, Herman Badillo, or John McWhorter "right wing"? It just doesn't make sense here. Scharferimage 04:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

MI isn't even conservative, it's capitalist, but I'm not going to win that fight so I'm leaving the lede alone. 67.173.10.34 (talk) 07:09, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Larry Siegel

My impression from reading this article is that the Manhattan Institute is a right wing outfit and that the article is written so as to avoid stating this explicitly. My response: tell it like it is. Make things clear. ---Dagme (talk) 04:58, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

As a think tank, a registered 501(c)3, I don't think the Manhattan Institute can legally take partisan positions. Such orgs are typically restricted from doing so, and may only advance policy proposals and white papers from a results-oriented (cost-benefit, etc.) position without regard to explicit political affiliation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.64.26 (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

This question was discussed a few years ago (above) and since then the consensus has been to leave "right wing" out of the article. Moreover, the term has connotations that are negative/POV-laden. Since the mission of MI is presented in the article, readers are certainly free to use their own judgement when it comes to deciding (for themselves) if MI is "right-wing" or otherwise. – S. Rich (talk) 04:51, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I agree with the above. "Right-wing" is not an appropriate descriptor to include here. bd2412 T 02:56, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
