Nordic model → nordic socialism – better title in Google and per sources. Instituto miss brasil (talk) 16:22, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm not clicking on those links. They look sketchy. Bearian (talk) 17:06, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

I have never heard it called that. A lot of Nordic politicians and economists would disagree on that characterization of their mixed economies. Socialists also don't agree on whether these economies are "socialist enough" to be called socialist countries (social democracy vs socialism). Additionally, the term "Nordic model" is used commonly in housing discourse, not "Nordic socialism." There are other fields as well, such as prostitution legislation, where the Nordic model's approach is not really socialist or even entirely economic in nature.

Not seeing a strong argument for it so far, this is an established term. TylerBurden (talk) 18:22, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

one of those only uses 'Nordic model'—blindlynx 20:20, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

in title better? Bearian ~2026-85962-9 (talk) 16:12, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose - "Nordic model" is taught in political science and "Nordic socialism" is not. Geschichte (talk) 08:05, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose, as it's not actually socialism. Rreagan007 (talk) 03:21, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose - appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME. JimRenge (talk) 11:22, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Proposed merge of The Swedish model into Nordic model

The contents of this page are redundant, not unique to Sweden, and are already covered on the Nordic model page. Redvelvetvanilaaaaaaaaa (talk) 15:12, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Support I agree. It is a stub too. Catboy69 (talk) Catboy69 (talk) 15:28, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Support. If there would be anything specific for Sweden, it can be put into this article. Lova Falk (talk) 15:38, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
