Cut: "Awesome/WorldWarII"?: Awesome.World War II

This contradicts the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement. Declaring Moments of Awesome for a real-life war, especially World War II, seems like a bad idea to me. A page like this attracts revisionists, people with a deluded sense of heroism, trolls and flamers. It already contains "To be fair, some of Adolf Hitler's acts were rather impressive"-type entries. We probably don't want something like this.

It's not religion or politics. It's mostly combat.

Sorry, but as much as Adolf Hitler can be considered a Complete Monster, it doesn't mean his countrymen were.

I understand what you mean; the page describes quite a few admirable and truly awesome acts of resistance and so on, but there are entries about kill counts etc. as well.

I really don't think TV Tropes is the best place for gushing or whining about Real Life.

Also, is it just me, or is the "Awesome" page not even showing up as a tab?

It isn't showing up as a tab, but that may be because WWII changed namespaces.

I'm opposed to "Awesome moments" for any real-life event. It's just initing controversy, and it's what the rest of the internet is for.

Well put. I'm inclined to agree.

Given no objections, I'm adding this to the cut list.

I had objected in the second post. But there's a 4:1 ratio of votes. :)

I misunderstood your comment then. Sorry.

Kill It with Fire.

Cut.

After we cut Crowning Moment Of Awesome, it became difficult to justify having Awesome subpages for anything, let alone for real life. Cut.

Well said. Cut; this page violates the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement in the most blatant way.

I added it to the Cut List.

It's been cut.
