Please stop unilaterally moving Nazi occupation of Norway article

There is a discussion going on at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/German_military_occupation_of_Norway_during_World_War_II#Occupation_of_Norway_by_Nazi_Germany regarding where the article should reside. Please stop making multiple unilateral moves of the article until consensus is reached. Thanks. Jayjg (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Unilateral moves

Courage, I don't know if you've noticed, but the title of the article has been under debate at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/German military occupation of Norway during World War II. Your unilateral moves are pre-empting the outcome of a vote there, and that is simply against wikipedia policy, no matter how much we disagree on the issue.

As for the Nazi vs. German occupation, I have never claimed that Germany had no role in this - I am simply claiming that the occupation was a distinctly Nazi - or as you put it "National Socialist" - event. And I also believe there is broad consensus, within Germany and everywhere else, that the Hitler regime was not the legal government of Germany when this happened. To imply that it was a legitimate sovereign act is more of a POV than stating - quite accurately - that it was the Nazi regime that did it.

Neither am I arguing that it wasn't a military occupation - I am arguing that it was a military occupation and more. You're creating a false dilemma in both cases, what is known as a rhetorical fallacy. --Leifern 20:32, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

The debate is taking place at the discussion page of the article. Your further contributions there are welcomed. The VfD page is not really relevant anymore. Courage 20:34, 20 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

A number of people who continue to vote on the new proposal beg to differ. It's not up to you. --Leifern 20:36, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
