From Wikipedia:
This article was nominated for deletion on 26 September 2023. The result of the discussion was keep.
So like a lot of posts on here this is just anger bait missing important context
I can understand the anger in why deletion was even a topic to be discussed in the first place. Cause it embarrasses us???
There’s a lot of dumbass comments and suggestions all over the internet. Why dig for them and give them more publicity just to stoke anger?
The “important context” was that there was even a discussion about deletion in the first place, demonstrating that neo-nazis agitation has seeped into every corner of the internet
Frankly if you consider that “bait” or something not worth getting angry about then that says something about you
There was a proposal to change the entry for “Chinese Communist Party” to “Communist Party of China” and they rejected it because it was “Chinese propaganda since this is what China wants people to refer it as,” and that it should be satisfying enough that the proper party name is included in parenthesis in the article. Well, they rejected it for a myriad of reasons, actually.
The Anglo West has a very dark future ahead of them if this is what passes for an intellectual over there. No wonder most of their talent is imported.
The reason given was “Oppose due to MOS:VAR, although I agree that CPC is the better abbreviation” Just Wikipedia rules that there needs to be a substantial reason to change and that “…the party prefers the use of “CPC”, it accepts the use of both and says that whether the use of either abbreviation is positive or negative depends on the specific content.” If they don’t mind I don’t see what it’s about. Republicans will use black and white logic on anything communist with any given name. I’ll use CPC from now on thanks for the info. I have no doubt the article would be changed if it was a straight change like Türkiye
If history starts getting deleted from wikipedia because it’s inconvenient to liberals THAT is the quickest way to kill wikipedia as a reliable and “unbiased” source in the eyes of everyone.
I could not have come up with a better way to kill wiki than they have come up with themselves.
If you haven’t read this article, I highly recommend. Wikipedia has severe issues regarding reliability.

“in the eyes of everyone” was the operative phrase. Awoo definitely knows some NATOpedia lore, like most people on this site do.
Oh don’t mind me I’m just whitewashing history to fit my narrative and soothe my guilty fucking conscience.
If you claim to love history you take it warts and all. How are you supposed to learn from it if you ignore the mistakes? Would that be permitted in other disciplines like medicine or rocket science? Welp ho hum off to my job at NASA trying to fly a cube into space because aerodynamics can be ignored.
The west isn’t rapidly encroaching into fascism bro, trust me dwag.
