Talk:Defeatism

list
I am not sure if anybody is going to read this, but let me ask anyway. Would it be ok for me to list people that were called defeatist at some point? Or would it be too politicized? --Dejan Cabrilo 17:48, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, but how will they be chosen? Defeatists called such by the media, or from another source?
 * Well, I don't know. E.g. Daniil Kharms was sentenced for being a defeatist. Some are calling Sharon a defeatist. I mean, media can call anyone a defeatist, so if we are listing names, let's just use examples of people who were proclaimed to be defeatists with some consequence following. --Dejan Cabrilo 00:48, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * What about Jesus?--Amir E. Aharoni 15:36, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Making an actual list or naming notable people who have been dubbed, categorized, or is "known" for being defeatists, would be extremely political and non-neutral. Jonas Vinther (talk) 17:13, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Why Nazi generals were accused of 'defeatism' in 1945
I think the article does not do enough to explain why Hitler prosecuted his generals in the final year of World War Two. I tried to add the simple explanation "for pointing out the truth that Nazi Germany was losing to the Allies." however it has been removed by two editors   who feel this factual wording is "original research". This basically is accusing me of making up information myself, which is not the case. I am giving those two editors a  chance to  explain their rationale and motivation here in discussion.

 * Original research means something closer to "the statement cannot be sourced" instead of "it is made up". I reverted your edit because it was not supported by a reliable source, and it is not an undisputed fact. If you can verify the truth of your statement (using a reliable source), I will leave you be. Thank you!

 * Of course it can easily be sourced, because it would be much harder to find anywhere a detailed discussion of Hitler's use of "defeatism" giving any other explanation for it. That's  why I could not believe  anyone would call this "original research". KZebegna (talk) 15:32, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
