Talk:Surrender Act

Pejorative?
This is the way the government refer to this act, and have explained their reasoning. It may not be appreciated by opponents of the government, but Wikipedia's voice should not be used to promote that view. -- DeFacto (talk). 16:26, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * So you're saying that the government is not using the name in a pejorative way? What reason is there for using it, rather than the actual name, if not to demonstrate their bad opinion of it?   Wikipedia referencing this name as pejorative does not mean taking any stance on the act itself. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 16:38, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * it's similar to Poll tax (Great Britain) and Bedroom tax, both coined by opponents of those initiatives to try to embarrass the instigators. And they are not mere redirects, but article titles! Wikipedia should say it as it is, and not apply any particular POV, especially with no attribution. -- DeFacto (talk). 16:49, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the WP:COMMONNAME policy applies here. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
