This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Germany. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Germany|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Germany. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

This BLP article is entirely unsourced, and I couldn't find any significant coverage from reliable sources. Given that this article does have an image of him and his competition statistics, there may be a chance that I'm just missing something here, which is why I'm not putting this article through PROD. However, until such sources are presented, I'm leaning toward deleting this article. Lazman321 (talk) 03:35, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – Per lack of WP:SIGCOV. Svartner (talk) 05:49, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Motorsport, and Germany. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 06:13, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per Svartner and nom, not helped that it has no source. BuffaloTaro (talk) 11:57, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: There are other people with this name that come up [1]; the subject of the AfD finished 13th, 78th and two did not qualify... That's a long way form athletic notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:26, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Rudolf Sosna (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
"A writerly musician with a melodic sensibility", Sosna is not independently notable from the band Faust he co-founded. Redirect removed, so here we are. Fails WP:GNG, no WP:SIGCOV. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:49, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Bands and musicians, and Germany. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:49, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Rudolf Sosna was not a marginal member of Faust but one of its principal composers and lyricists. He authored or co-authored many of the group’s best-known pieces, including key tracks on Faust (1971), Faust So Far (1972), and The Faust Tapes (1973). His songwriting and melodic sensibility were central to the band’s identity — several critics have specifically highlighted his contributions when assessing the group’s output.
Under WP:MUSICBIO, musicians who have composed, written, or performed on nationally released recordings that have received significant critical recognition meet the notability criteria, even if they are not individually famous. Faust albums are repeatedly cited by reliable sources such as AllMusic, Trouser Press, The Guardian, and The Wire as seminal works in experimental and krautrock music. Sosna’s name appears in album credits and historical analyses of those recordings.
Wikipedia is not a popularity index but an educational resource documenting cultural history. Removing Sosna’s article would erase the record of a composer whose work helped define one of the most influential avant-rock movements of the 20th century. The article should therefore be improved and sourced, not deleted.

Does not pass WP:GNG. I'm not seeing significant coverage available in the article or during a BEFORE. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:41, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

- Delete – The article relies on outdated, trivial mentions with no significant independent coverage showing lasting notability. Essentially a defunct niche podcast with no reliable sourcing or encyclopedic value. AllyJams (talk) 03:04, 3 November 2025 (UTC)*

- Weak keep - there are two sources that look reliable and independent to me: Westfälischen Nachrichten and The Local, and the coverage in those two looks significant, although paywalled. The other sources don't seem to be independent, although I'm not 100% sure about the university website - are the people who run Easy Languages employees? It's a borderline, but I think there is probably enough. Lijil (talk) 20:06, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

This article fails WP:GNG. I did make an attempt to find additional information and sources but didn't find anything that would change my mind. Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 17:47, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - this is a poorly sourced dictionary definition about a BLP. There is no assertion of notability, allowing for speedy deletion. Bearian (talk) 07:06, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
