If "there is no international consensus among scholars or governments on whether the Soviet policies that caused the famine fall under the legal definition of genocide", it makes no sense to have an article about "denial of the Holodomor". Besides, the article is heavily biased, under an "American red scared" quasi-McCarthyist line of thought. Dornicke (talk) 00:16, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
That logic does not hold water. Facts people deny do not have be genocides. People also deny moon landings, viruses, and climate change.
That's not the point. If there's no consensus about Holodomor being a genocide, there's no point in talking about denial. There's no "denialism" of things that are not consensual. There's debate. Denialism is when people do not accept something which is considered a consensus. And I suspect I don't care about your "suspect". Dornicke (talk) 20:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
If there's no consensus about Holodomor being a genocide, there's no point in talking about denial This is called Chewbacca defense.
The article is about denial of the Holodomor, not about denial of the answer "yes" to the Holodomor genocide question.
The article even explicitly says "For the question of whether the Holodomor constituted genocide, see Holodomor genocide question."
There is a consensus that the Holodomor happened. Calling it a genocide or not is a different question, the article about which is a different one: Holodomor genocide question.
"There is a consensus that the Holodomor happened" - No, there isn't. There's a consensus that the FAMINE existed. Even the authors called "deniers" in this article admit the famine existed. "Holodomor" is the name given to the thesis that Stalin intentionally wanted to kill Ukrainians by the means of an architected starvation. That's the subject of this article. And this is not a consensus. Dornicke (talk) 21:15, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
From the article: "Official Soviet propaganda denied the famine and suppressed information about it from its very beginning until the 1980s." As you say, there is a consensus that the famine existed, and there was denial of the famine. What more do you need?
Maybe you should have taken an actual look at the article before you formed an opinion about it? At least look how often and in which contexts the word "genocide" appears. --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:31, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
From the article: "he asserts that claims the Holodomor was an intentional genocide are "fraudulent", and "a creation of Nazi propagandists"." Tottle book does not claim the famine didn't exist. It clearly says the famine was real, but not intentional. Why is Tottle being present as a "denialist" in this article if this is about denial of the famine - and he doesn't deny the famine? Maybe you should read the article before you formed an opinion about it? Because, clearly, any person who has read it probably understand what's the point i'm raising, but you are struggling so much... Dornicke (talk) 09:29, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
"any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda"
"Prominent writers from Ireland and Britain who visited the Soviet Union in 1934, such as George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells, are also on record as denying the existence of the famine in Ukraine"
"Russian state media ran several articles denying the severity and causes of the Ukrainian famine"
Those quotes are about denying the famine. The article is about denying the famine. Of course, other aspects are mentioned too, but that does not mean that the article is about something else, as you claim.
The article does not say whether Tottle's book denies the famine, so no amount of reading the article by me would have told me that he does not. Given your stout denial of the fact that people did deny the famine, I do not trust your claim that Tottle does not deny the famine - it could very well be that you are as blind when reading him as when reading the article.
Holodomor is not a synonym of Soviet famine of 1932–33. That's the reason why we have two different articles. Holodomor is the name given to the thesis that Stalin PLANNED to kill Ukrainians by starvation - it's the thesis that the Soviet Famine of 1932-33 was a genocide. That's Holodomor. Authors who do not claim this shouldn't be here. I won't stop anything. If you are not willing to talk about the subject, ignore it. Nobody is forcing you to take part in this discussion and I won't stop just because you think you own this article. Dornicke (talk) 20:41, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
