This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
>>During World War II, Slovenia was in a unique situation in Europe. Only Greece shared its experience of being trisected; however, Slovenia was the only country that experienced a further step – absorption and annexation into neighboring Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Hungary<<
and also, Slovenia was not a country in 1941, it was part of the country of Yugoslavia. And being divided in three or more parts was hardly unique. Yugoslavia was divided into many parts, some of which were annexed by neighbouring states (Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania and Germany), and some of which remained occupied (much of what is now Serbia) or were turned into client states (the NDH).

There is a great deal of evidence suggesting that the Partisans did not want a "multi-ethnic" state. They sought to cleanse ethnic German villages from Yugoslavia through a system of concentration camps, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands people. I don't see any reference to these atrocities in this article? 2600:1702:6DD0:1210:A05A:3470:6F22:7195 (talk) 16:41, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I favor capitalization for "Yugoslav Partisans" because the term is generally understood not to encompass any guerrilla band operating within enemy lines in Yugoslavia, but to exclusively refer to the highly organized "National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Yugoslavia" under a single central command—that is, a specific organization.

Oppose per Doremo. You only have to have a cursory glance at the most common and highly respected references for this period to see that Yugoslav Partisans has initial capitals for both words, and usage is not mixed with reference to this organisation, the ngrams you are referring to obviously conflate other partisans with the Yugoslav Partisans. For a sample, look at Tomasevich, Hoare, Milazzo, Roberts, Pavlowitch, Ramet etc etc. It was one movement, led by Tito, and the full name (for most of its existence) was that quoted by Doremo. The common name used in reliable sources, is without a doubt "Yugoslav Partisans", exactly as capitalised currently in the article title.
