Entire article is a mish-mash of [[WP:SYNTHESIS]], seeking to bring disparate events under the Cold War umbrella. See for example many entries at the horrendously bloated infobox such as [[Wounded Knee Occupation]], what does the pre-existing dispute betwen the federal government and native Americans have to do with the Cold War? Then you have the [[Stonewall riots]] at "Events and incidents", they are nothing to do with the Cold War either. These aren't isolated examples, there are many, many incidents and groups listed that have have nothing to do with the Cold War. While it's possible a proper article about the subject could be written this definitely isn't it, so per [[WP:TNT]] this article shouldn't be allowed to remain.

* '''Delete''': I'd be more likely to keep it if it had some sort of sourcing that discussed this point. Some unsourced paragraphs, then a wall of links to other articles and an infobox that looks like everyone was against the government at the same time, all at once. Weird SYNTH here.

Entire article is a mish-mash of WP:SYNTHESIS, seeking to bring disparate events under the Cold War umbrella. See for example many entries at the horrendously bloated infobox such as Wounded Knee Occupation, what does the pre-existing dispute betwen the federal government and native Americans have to do with the Cold War? Then you have the Stonewall riots at "Events and incidents", they are nothing to do with the Cold War either. These aren't isolated examples, there are many, many incidents and groups listed that have have nothing to do with the Cold War. While it's possible a proper article about the subject could be written this definitely isn't it, so per WP:TNT this article shouldn't be allowed to remain.

  • Delete: I'd be more likely to keep it if it had some sort of sourcing that discussed this point. Some unsourced paragraphs, then a wall of links to other articles and an infobox that looks like everyone was against the government at the same time, all at once. Weird SYNTH here.

  • Delete The Cold War was decades long, many of these events were unrelated to the international relations issue. If the creator wants to compile these as those related to the Civil Rights Movement or those related to the Vietnam War in other related articles that may be better.

  • Delete; very odd WP:SYNTH going on here. Many of these events have nothing to do with the Cold War and the sources don't appear to connect the topics in this manner. Left guide (talk) 20:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It says "during the Cold War" not "relating to the Cold War." Many events during this period can be traced back to the political climate of the time. NoahMusic2009 (talk) 20:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
