Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Germany

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.

Only found sources in German-language zines which are likely unreliable. Opening this rather than a PROD on the possibility that someone with access to a German-specific archive could find more on this band than I did, but seeing as all the sources I saw were already German I have my doubts.

Delete all of these -- searched a few, found nothing. These articles are essentially an episode listing and are not encyclopedic; this one also has a plot summary but that does not really qualify it. No reliable sources. If sources are later found they can be added to the main article. Mrfoogles (talk) 21:09, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This stub cites no independent sources, let alone any significant coverage. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:38, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The quality of the stub is not relevant. The question is whether the subject is notable. In the first two pages of search results, this source discusses the festival in depth. This source, this source and this source describe the festival in three different years. This source and this source discuss individual performances. It would be surprising if an annual event like this had not attracted any attention. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for bringing these sources to my attention. I have now cited most of them. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 02:18, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence of WP:SIGCOV and after doing a search I could find any additional of coverage in reliable sources. I did find some passing mentions, but nothing in-depth or evidence to prove notability. Grahaml35 (talk) 01:25, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NAUTHOR, and WP:ACADEMIC.4meter4 (talk) 02:06, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The subject clearly meets the WP:AUTHOR criteria. Several articles by them are available on Academia. Besides, if you think there is a WP:REFBOMB' you can fix it, and you can also remove the promotional content. I don't think deleting it would be a good idea.

@Jannatulbaqi, Could you please indicate the valuable sources by providing links which you are referring in your opinion? Kadı Message 22:03, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. With many book publications, WP:AUTHOR is plausible, but only if we can find multiple reliable-published reviews of multiple books. I didn't find any in Google Scholar and JSTOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:48, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:BIO, WP:SINGER. No indication of significance.Single ref is a profile. Been on the cat:nn list for 10+ years, never been updated. No coverage. scope_creep^Talk 08:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article hasn't developed since the no-consensus AfD 13 years ago, and the de.wiki one is similar. As far as I can see, the subject continues working, in duo and band with a pianist, Dirk Balthaus; I don't see indication of meeting WP:MUSICBIO. The previous AfD had the unresolved issue of whether the Das Hungertuch Künstlerpreis was sufficient to indicate notability as an author: I notice the de.wiki article on that Prize was itself deleted later in 2012. AllyD (talk) 09:51, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone with access to the website and/or German-language proficiency help assess these articles from Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ): [3][4][5]? These [6][7] seem to be about her book (and an exhibit) on her relationship with her father, artist Walter Kurowski [de]. There are some other WAZ articles that are marked as "local", but I've only included the ones categorized at the city level. Bridget (talk) 01:09, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its not a lot to base notability on. It all seems to local news. The book may be notable. I see its published by Rowohlt which is an old established publisher, potentially an indication of a pass as WP:NAUTHOR. I don't think these add up to much. There is a couple of event listings and promo articles for the book. There could be more here though. scope_creep^Talk 04:23, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: A quick search shows several articles about her and her performances. She seems to be a important figure in the cultural scene in the Ruhrgebiet. @Bridget:, German-speaking user here. WAZ is the biggest regional paper in Germany, focusing on the Ruhrgebiet. There are also other articles on the Westdeutsche Zeitung (a state-wide focus). [8]

[9] [10] TanookiKoopa (talk) 13:48, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two of these references are routine notices of the events with ticket prices and not reliable sources. See what else turns up. scope_creep^Talk 22:24, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep Again, "quick search". The page need to be expanded and properly cited, sure. No reason to delete it for that :) TanookiKoopa (talk) 11:25, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a WP:BLP and as such it needs high quality WP:SECONDARY sources. So far there has nothing been presented that makes this individual notable. Its all ultra-local news, small snippets that don't cut it. If there is WP:THREE secondary sources, that are international in nature then that would be great for WP:SINGER but not local city news, the local papers reporting on the own wee z-list celebrities. That is not establishing notablity per long established consensus. scope_creep^Talk 19:14, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
