Talk:Political decorations of the Nazi Party

Title of article

Will someone with more technical knowledge than me please change the title of this article to: "Political decorations of the NSDAP?" There is not now nor has there ever been any organization in German known as the "Nazi Party. This is as ludicrous as saying there was a "redneck party" or "Hillbilly party." The word nazi is a slang derogatory German word that has a similar meaning as redneck, hillbilly, hayseed or country bumpkin in English. It was first used by Germans to ridicule the NSDAP. English speaking journalists with a poor command of the German language misunderstood the usage and thought it was the name of the party whose only historically correct name was NSDAP. No membver of the NSDAP ever called themselves "nazis" as doing so was very derogatory. This would be similar to Republicans calling themselves the "Hillbilly Party." This is supposed to be an encyclopedia written in a scholarly manner. Lets honor that mission by writing articles in a scholarly manner, using correct terminology and only using slangs in their proper context. And if we ARE going to use the word nazi, lets remember that it is NOT a proper noun and therefore should NEVER be capitalized as though it were. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.144.213.97 (talk) 06:32, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Article titles on Wikipedia use the common name for their subject, which is not necessarily the 'correct' or 'official' name. As you note, the word "nazi" is a rather common, if not the most common, name given to the NSDAP. Thus the article on the NSDAP is under the title Nazi Party. But don't worry, typing NSDAP to the search box will take you there as well, as indeed will Political decorations of the NSDAP redirect to this article.

The usage of "Nazi Party" on either article can be said to reflect a consensus of editors. Consensus can be challenged to form a new one, but in order to do so, especially on such high profile articles, one should get familiar with previous discussions on whether to rename a page or not. (For a recent discussion, which overwhelmingly supported the name "Nazi Party", see: Talk:Nazi Party/Archive 5#RFC). However, if a new consensus is reached, the technical step to rename a page is called a move. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 10:51, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

The consensus is to use the common name and this sub-article should match the name of the parent article herein on English Wikipedia, that being, Nazi Party. Kierzek (talk) 11:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Merge proposal

The list article is essentially redundant and covers the same area of Nazi era civilian and non-military awards and medals as the article Political decorations of the Nazi Party. All non-military awards to members of the party and non-members of the party can be covered in one article. There is no reason to have both and it will be easy to merge information from this short list into the other article. The only other suggestion is to change the target article name to Political and civil decorations of Nazi Germany. After coming to national power in 1933, the party and state were one.

Natalisism

• There should be a category link to Natalism as a natalist award is on the page.
