Move: Anti-Americanism → Anti-American sentiment

The country-specific articles use "sentiment" rather than "-ism", e.g. Anti-American sentiment in Germany, etc. ―Emperor ÖSMAN IXXVMD (talk) 08:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

:Oppose The term is used much more broadly than conveyed by "sentiment". For example, according to the lead sentence, {{tq|sentiments and positions including opposition to [...] its foreign policy}}. NightHeron (talk) 09:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

:Mild Oppose I say "mild" in that the suggestion isn't egregiously wrong, and if there were consensus for it that would seem fine to me. However, per NightHeron, the term "Anti-Americanism" is generally broader in usage and this seems to be reasonably well explained in the lead. Also noting that "Anti-American sentiment" is already a redirect to this article, so anyone looking for sentiments is going to find it. CAVincent (talk) 10:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

::::Comment: It literally says {{tq|Anti-Americanism (also called anti-American sentiment or Americanophobia) is ...}}.

::(BTW, sorry for the late response.)

::―Emperor ÖSMAN IXXVMD (talk) 10:42, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

:* Support This would be in line with pretty much all other articles on xenophobia. I'll start a move discussion?

Add Canada to list of countries that despise Americans.

:Anti-Americanism → {{no redirect|Anti-American sentiment}} – This would be in line with almost all other articles on xenophobia, such as Anti-Albanian sentiment, Anti-African sentiment, Anti-Afghan sentiment, Anti-Armenian sentiment, Anti-Assyrian sentiment, Anti-Azerbaijani sentiment, and that is just those beginning with 'A'. It is very commonly used in academia, although I don't know whether it is marginally more common than the status quo. Alexanderkowal (talk) 16:48, 8 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Favonian (talk) 17:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 21:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. See [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Anti-Americanism%2CAnti-American+sentiment&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3&case_insensitive=true Google Ngrams]. There are other "anti-____ism" articles like Anti-Europeanism where that is the common name. SilverLocust 💬 13:59, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
:Do we know what’s used more in academia? Alexanderkowal (talk) 08:50, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

:For what's its worth, reiterating my mild oppose for the same reasons that I gave when this came up (above) last September. CAVincent (talk) 05:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

:Relisting comment: Currently tied; nore input needed. Favonian (talk) 17:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

:Relisting comment: Reverting close and relisting, per request on my talk page to allow for additional input BilledMammal (talk) 21:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Currently the only evidence of a WP:COMMONNAME is the Ngrams graph, which shows a strong preference for the current title. Briefly going over the references in the article, both the current and proposed titles are used, but it seems that the current title is more common. If the nominator or another editor can find evidence that "Anti-American sentiment" is the more common name, ping me and I will reconsider; if this discussion has been closed, feel free to start a new one. However, with the current evidence, I oppose this move. Toadspike [Talk] 15:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
:Anti-Americanism is the more common name, but its inconsistency with other articles on xenophobia implies American exceptionalism. Only the European and American examples except this convention (sometimes racism replaces negative sentiment depending on context) Alexanderkowal (talk) 15:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
::Comment 1) Consistency between article naming conventions is a considerably less compelling argument than WP:COMMONNAME. 2) Suggesting that the name of this article implies American exceptionalism seems a bit overwrought. CAVincent (talk) 05:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Concur with CAVincent. --Coolcaesar (talk) 16:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:::I’m just saying that it is very ironic for an article on negative sentiment towards American people to be titled in a way that makes it exceptional. I would’ve thought that especially American people would want to counter this. Policy is a guideline remember Alexanderkowal (talk) 17:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Wikipedia:Consistency in article titles is arguably more compelling than WP:Common name, I'm surprised there is such opposition to this. Kowal2701 (talk) 19:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Oppose. Per WP:COMMONNAME as discussed above. --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:45, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Anti-Americanism in Canada

Anti-Americanism#Canada I feel this section is missing a lot of relevant information. Even down to the simple things like photos. Even in daily life you would see graffiti and much more. I don't know what should be added I just feel it is missing information. Roc1233 (Talk | Edits) 21:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

:One thing that'd be nice to add is recent statistics on Canadians' views on Americans. E.g. a poll in February showing that [https://globalnews.ca/news/11026829/canadians-see-us-enemy-country-poll/ 1 in 4 Canadians now see America as "the enemy"]. The state of US-Canada relations has changed quite a bit this year so there's definitely lots of things that'd be worth adding. Viv Desjardin (talk, contrib) 21:32, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

::definitely Roc1233 (Talk | Edits) 21:43, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

How does this section not have any references to Trump's threats to annex Canada? That by far has been the biggest source of recent anti-American sentiment in Canada. That alone has led to a significant amount of boycotts and divesting. 142.134.238.24 (talk) 03:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:yeah its weird Roc1233 (Talk | Edits) 04:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
