Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Germany

WP:DSDE

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.

MERA25 Hessen

Was deprodded with the rationale, "consider merge or redirect to MERA25 as preferred WP:ATD". However, like I always do prior to prodding, I did consider a redirect to MERA25, but it is not mentioned at that target, so that would be inappropriate. And there is really nothing of substance to merge. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG.

Delete. The references cited are pretty well uniformly promotion; none of them are independent sources. The article is essentially spam on a subject which does not satisfy the notability guidelines. JBW (talk) 11:13, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A lot of churnalism ad-style releases and simple trivial mentions in the sources but nothing that would meet all WP:SIRS for notability. The frustrating article history by a PAID editor is also insulting. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 13:05, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Benedicta Neysa Nathania

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Based on the user name, this is an autobiography. There is no significant coverage to establish notability. Doing her post-doc, there is no indication that the specific notability for academics is met either. There are also this odd claim Benedicta is the female Secretary-General of the United Nations since 2021, still, she is kept as the ace of the United Nations and not publicized as his position. There is simply no such position. If it does exist and not publicized, then it isn't a significant position. Whpq (talk) 18:47, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Likely a HOAX as the UN position does not seem to exist. Either way, this is not a notable individual. Only one source and nothing else we can find, I don't see anything in Scholar or Gsearch. Oaktree b (talk) 19:29, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Creator/subject removed 5 tags, but didn't address 4 of them. She added a source, so technically it's referenced, but having a single source in an article is tantamount to original research. While it has been sourced to at least 1 reference, there are still 5 major issues: it needs (1) more citations, (2) to be re-written from a (3) promotional (4) resume to an encyclopedia article, and (5) the extraordinary claims of notability need extraordinary proof. I remind you all that for a BLP, the burden of proof flips to the side that needs to come up with significant coverage in reliable sources. In 2025, everyone knows that Wikipedia is not LinkedIn. Bearian (talk) 20:34, 18 July 2025 (UTC) P.S. The creator/subject actually knew that autobiography is discouraged here since at least last year, and this could not possibly be done at the worst possible time, that the richest person in the world wants to destroy us entirely, while the most powerful man in the world just wants to destroy our finances. Bearian (talk) 20:39, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete hoax/unverifiable per WP:V. Possible WP:CSD#G3 speedy deletion. I tried verifying the claim "Currently, Benedicta is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Cambridge and has completed a PhD in mathematics at Universität Hamburg". Google found nothing with her name on the Cambridge and Hamburg web sites. The Mathematics Genealogy Project does not list her. On another note, this article claims her to be the daughter of Sérgio Vieira de Mello but all I can find online is that his children were two significantly older sons [1] [2] [3] [4]. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:39, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
More evidence of hoax: there are no mathematics publications by anyone with the name "Neysa" or "Nathania" in MathSciNet and zbMATH, and both of these list essentially all legitimate mathematics publications. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:26, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Charting is not enough to prove notability, it's just an indicator that an album should be notable. DJ Mag is considered a reliable source, but the reference is a little more than a mention. There is no consensus about the reliability of Vice. Dance Music NW looks good as a source, but its reliability is unknown. I don't think there's enough to prove notability, but it's close. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 17:58, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Cosmic Gate#Studio albums. 1 chart position is not enough for notability. Surprising that an album that had 3 charting singles doesn't have reviews. --Mika1h (talk) 13:10, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Cosmic Gate#Studio albums. As per @Mika1h, I've tried to do a deep dive on sources but I cannot find anything of note, including newspapers and magazines, and despite one criterion is met I don't think WP:ALBUM is fully satisfied.

Additional note: I've tidied up some circular redirects on Cosmic Gate and it appears there were a few other of their albums which have also been changed to a redirect.

@Cremastra that last Forbes source was written by a contributor rather than staff so usually not considered RS per WP:FORBESCON. S0091 (talk) 16:47, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping; you're right. There's this as well though, from the Chinese edition of Fortune (magazine). Cremastra (talk) 16:56, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cremastra the Chinese edition is a different publisher from Fortune (magazine) so does not have the same editorial oversight.

Delete - This is just a Gish gallop of trivial or promotional sources; there has also been a history here of using fake/SEO sources by a UDPE. I see Forbes contributor blogs, Entrepreneur contributor blogs, a VentureBeat contributor blog written by our favorite PR/SEO spammer Jon Stojan, user-generated material from LinkedIn, trivial directory listings, stories about the companies that don't mention the person (or mention him trivially), and so on. There are a few interviews, but those are hardly independent when establishing notability. Are there any examples of significant and independent sources? I was not able to locate anything searching externally, but that could be complicated by many others that share the same name, and a lot of self-serving PR that hides real sources. Sam Kuru (talk) 21:59, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just a disclaimer: I'm an employee at one of his companies and thus have a conflict of interest in this article. However, I’d like to add some independent references to address concerns about notability raised by the deletion rationale:

Delete: per Kuru's assessment of the sources along with my own. S0091 (talk) 17:10, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Maryanne Oketch

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

When I first nominated the article, I just assumed that the WP:BLP1E applies and would overrule notability guidelines, like WP:GNG. However, the voters disagreed with each other about BLP1E and applying it, and the participation was sorta low-ish, resulting in "no consensus". To complicate matters, not even WP:BIO1E, which applies to anybody, living or deceased, was mentioned.

Fast forward to today, more concerning as should've been addressed earlier is her compliance with WP:N, especially WP:GNG and/or WP:PAGEDECIDE, and WP:NBASIC. Additionally, WP:BIO1E should apply if BLP1E doesn't, and WP:BIOSPECIAL should apply in case she meets only "additional" criteria instead of "basic" ones. I re-raised the notability issue a couple months back.

Transcluding from Talk:Maryanne Oketch

Two years after the prior AFD discussion was closed as "no consensus", I've still yet to see reliable secondary sources demonstrate this person's general or basic notability, despite her status as the second black female Survivor winner. In the prior AFD nom, I've refuted two "keep" votes that cite the sources like interviews (exemplifying primary sources, like this now-defunct video interview) and the winners/losers list of 2022 (verifying her as the Survivor winner), but... Well, the AFD result's there, so that's that.
So far, she's not listed for not-yet-filmed Survivor 50, and she's yet to appear on Big Brother. Even if she were to appear there or become a doctor, per WP:BIOSPECIAL, she still wouldn't be basically or generally notable.
If looking for reliable sources to verify her notability as a medical student, I'm doing my best:

Interviews, which don't count per WP:GNG and WP:NRVE: CBC, Global News (Canada)

School newspaper article from the medical school that she's attending; a university newspaper.

George Ho (talk) 19:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Since then, I've yet to see her appear on Big Brother and my concerns being addressed, especially about her notability outside Survivor. Well, even appearing on Big Brother still might not make her generally or basically notable. Preferably, per cited rules, the page must be redirected to Survivor 42.

Redirect to Survivor 42. WP:BLP1E, WP:SUSTAINED, WP:PAGEDECIDE, WP:CRUFT, WP:NOTPLOT... etc. etc. etc. Take your pick. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 20:58, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have already added three additional in-depth articles about her life that have been printed since. WP:BEFORE helps when determining over time if someone continues to be notable. Quick, Spot the Quetzalcoatl! (talk) 21:43, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I reviewed your edits (diff 1, diff 2, recently diff 3). I admire your desire to stand me corrected and application of WP:BEFORE, but most of the sources, especially interviews (primary sources, indeed), you cited primarily covered her Survivor win. Also, I think I already addressed in the talk page the marginality of her notability especially as a medical student and someone engaged, didn't I?

I'm kinda unsure whether you were arguing to be bold and improve the article. Sure, improving the article would be a plausible rationale to keep the article. Nonetheless, even prettying up and adding some more stuff about her still won't prevent an article from being deleted or redirected, will they both? George Ho (talk) 03:38, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Should've realized and then linked essay WP:OVERCOME much earlier. George Ho (talk) 21:12, 19 July 2025 (UTC))[reply]

And just how many sources do you need before you believe a reality show winner is potentially notable despite the fact they have the win? It is pretty rare for someone to double down on such an argument, just not letting something ho... Quick, Spot the Quetzalcoatl! (talk) 03:41, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why not multiple precedents, like the AFD discussion about the Survivor 43 winner and the AFD discussion about the 41 winner? Sure, they won, but that doesn't make them notable. As it turns out, (almost?) none of "New Era" (i.e. season-numbered era) winners are notable per policies and guidelines. I can provide more examples, like the AFD discussion about the Island of the Idols winner, but that's too plentiful, isn't it?

Due to plenty of Survivor winners being proven notable for just one event (WP:BIO1E or WP:BLP1E), almost none of further New Era winners have their own articles created or developed nowadays, and creating such articles is too risky anymore.

Sources aren't the only ones. Somehow, the Survivor contestants should typically have pre-Survivor notability (e.g. Keith Famie the chef) or gained some attention for activities besides appearing on Survivor (probably Helen Glover (Survivor contestant) due to losing her own newspaper column and hosting her own radio show). George Ho (talk) 04:01, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I tried a draft list of Survivor finalists, including winners, but an AFC volunteer rejected it as "arbitrary". Even the list of Survivor winners itself was deleted per this AFD discussion. George Ho (talk) 04:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ho ... Can you explain why you stated she is notable in the transcluded statement, and then reversed yourself? Quick, Spot the Quetzalcoatl! (talk) 03:42, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean to say or imply that she's "notable". I just stated my concerns and that I've tried harder to verify her notability outside Survivor. Speaking of Survivor, she'll not appear on Survivor 50, unfortunately. George Ho (talk) 04:06, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How so? Checking the sources on the Wikipedia Library, the notability of her pre-Survivor career, despite its existence, isn't well verified by reliable sources. Also, I tried finding eligible reliable sources notability of her post-Survivor activity. All I can find are interviews, her engagement, and her status as a medical student, which is very brief to describe, honestly. Also, what about WP:SUSTAINED and WP:BIO1E?

Delete. Subject doesn't meet notability criteria for inclusion into the encyclopedia. Very minimal irrelevant sources. Cameremote (talk) @gonisulaimann 16:21, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see no indication of notability. The article is purely a genealogical entry. See WP:NOTINHERITED. Surtsicna (talk) 09:56, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly this will not simply be deleted. The potential merge or redirect targets are her husband or her son; any others? —Kusma (talk) 12:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I think the best would be to merge this and the husband to something like Ancestors of Johann Sebastian Bach. Indeed people have tried to study the family, but there just doesn't seem to be much to say beyond the genealogy. The articles at [11] and [12] do not have anything in-depth about Bach's mother; I don't really think the current article can be expanded much. —Kusma (talk) 15:24, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have created an account to argue against this deletion. As Bach's mother, Lämmerhirt is a key figure in the development of music in the Baroque period even if she did die while he was young. This makes her a key figure of study with many articles published about her and their relationship. To suggest that she is not notable on those grounds alone is preposterous.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345961730_Bachs_Mutter_und_ihre_Sippe

She is also a major figure in many published biographies and other books on Bach which should be reviewed. Contrapunctus VIII (talk) 13:30, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If she educated Bach at home, and did what you said she did, then find and add the sources. Admins: please give time to rescue this, or consider an alternative and userfy this. Bearian (talk) 15:21, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per consistent consensus in similar AfDs Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of European exonyms

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Afrikaans exonyms Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ukrainian exonyms These kinds of lists fail WP:NOTDICT and WP:NOTCATALOG. They are indiscriminate compilations of name variants without sufficient reliable secondary sources or encyclopedic context. Exonyms are language artifacts better suited for dictionaries or linguistic glossaries, not standalone encyclopedia entries. Cameremote (talk) @gonisulaimann 01:34, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Can't even be merged because this is explicitly a sub-list of List of German names for places in Poland, which has sub-lists for all the other provinces except for one which was literally PROD'd 9 hours ago. At best, the full list could be arranged to be separated based on province, but there should not be separate sub-lists for the different provinces. Weirdguyz (talk) 08:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or delete. It seems that there might be a stronger argument that German language placenames are more notable in some parts of Poland than others due to the history. I think I see this in some references, but I don't have the knowledge to assess them. Even then, I suspect a rearrange/merge in context at List of German names for places in Poland makes more sense than repeating the same information over several other lists.

The article lacks WP:Notability (general, music or otherwise) and independent sources. All music has been self-published, except one which appears to have been released through a label that according to discogs.com has five releases in total.

Subject fails to meet the WP:GNG because of a lack of WP:SIGCOV. The only references are databases, and I couldn't find anything better elsewhere. A redirect to Germany at the 1928 Summer Olympics may be a suitable WP:ATD. Let'srun (talk) 16:40, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete – So little information about him. This blog(?) lists him as an Olympic mystery because of how little is known about him.[13] Would love to find a way to save the article, but it just doesn't seem plausible. I'm against redirecting because of potential confusion with the painter by the same name. – Ike Lek (talk) 03:02, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with little information (I've found some records, but not enough for a bio) - but moving to Hermann Volz (weightlifter) before redirecting solves your concern and preserves history, which I would support. Kingsif (talk) 20:56, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

George, Hereditary Prince of Hanover

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article was previously deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prince George William of Hanover (born 1880), which found him to be non-notable. I can't see the old article, or remember it, so I don't tknow whether this is a direct recreation or not. Either way, I think it deserves further discussion.

I'm inclined to believe that his GCVO (highest grade) would make him notable per ANYBIO#1, which was overlooked at the previous AFD, but what gives me pause is that it's awarded to the people in personal service of the British monarch. Weak redirect to Ernest Augustus, Crown Prince of Hanover (his father) as WP:ATD, if the sourcing isn't sufficient to sustain an article beyond stub length. ミラP@Miraclepine 00:26, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
