Somehow, it seems like a synthetic topic—should we really have a terribly under-cited laundry list under this heading? Its items do not seem like they go together except superficially. Naturally, no connective sources are cited. Remsense ‥ 论 01:43, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

• Keep This is a valid and important article. If it requires improvement, the right thing to do is to fix it, not delete it. There is plenty of information available on this topic online! Valorthal77 (talk) 04:47, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
• :I'm not convinced it is valid, is the thing. Rather, I'm not convinced an article of this particular scope—one that includes both Swedish pacifists, American isolationists, and Rudolf Hess—is valid. Remsense ‥ 论 06:00, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Bduke (talk) 05:15, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History and Military. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 08:08, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
• I think it needs to be Draftified for now; the subject of 'attempts of the belligerents to come to some peace agreement during WW2' is not necessarily out of scope for Wikipedia, and it might be useful to have it all summarised in one place. But the current state of the article requires a lot of work to bring it up to standard, e.g. the lead reads like a fragment of an idea that's not mentioned elsewhere - rather than a summary, there are almost no in-line citations, and it's all worded like an essay with quite a few assertions in wiki-voice that need to be attributed to sources. The 'analysis' section, in particular needs immediate attention if the article does remain, 'analysis' is WP:OR almost by definition. JeffUK 14:13, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
• Delete: essentially a list at the moment but does not meet WP:NLIST: as the nominator points out, the articles it claims as its scope have not been discussed as a set in RS. Thus, WP:SYNTH. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:39, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
• :How is it synthesis if the goal is to prevent war and resolve conflicts peacefully? It seems the request to delete is just because the topic is unwelcome. There’s even an article about World War I, which was less severe than this war! Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup Valorthal77 (talk) 17:14, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
• Keep. This is not subject to NLIST; there's far too much text for NLIST to apply. This seems like a good place to bring various strands together in one spot, just like its World War I counterpart. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
