CSD nomination for lack of context
Dear TrulyBlue, I don't understand. What is your problem with this? Please specify. Best --Weissmann (talk) 09:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no way a reader can summise what 'Sauerländer Heimatbund' is. Booglama<b style="color:#003d60">y</b> ( talk ) - 11:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you unterstand my last edit? Best --Weissmann (talk) 11:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No, unfortunately not. What is 'Sauerländer Heimatbund'?  It could be a school, a drinking club, a building, a university, a newspaper, a company, a government committee, or almost anything: personally I have no idea, even after looking at the wikilinked articles.  And I don't know what a Verein is in this context, nor what Sauerland is (until I followed the link).  Please see the Manual of Style and particularly how to establish context.  thanks, TrulyBlue (talk) 11:12, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This could help: Eingetragener Verein. Best --Weissmann (talk) 11:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So is 'Sauerländer Heimatbund' an example of a 'Eingetragener Verein'? If so, that should be stated up front, with an explanation for a non-German speaker of what a 'Eingetragener Verein' is.  Then you need to show that this particular 'Eingetragener Verein' is Notable. TrulyBlue (talk) 11:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. You can find an explanation at the articel 'Eingetragener Verein'. Best --Weissmann (talk) 16:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The Eingetragener Verein defines the term as a voluntary asociation. Are you saying that Sauerländer Heimatbund is not such an association?  In which case, what is the connection?  Yours confused, TrulyBlue (talk) 09:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Dear TrulyBlue, I guess it is a voluntary association. But you have to ask the chairman Dieter Wurm. Best --Weissmann (talk) 11:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

status and advice
As reviewing administrator, I think the article indicates the subject has some importance, os this is not a speedy. One could suspect that from th notable mebers,and its confirmed by a reading of the German article However, for the English Wikipedia, the article as it stands will ned additional material, as follows: I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion. If you need help, read our guide to writing Wikipedia articles in the enWP. DGG (talk) 16:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) The descriptive material in the German article needs to be translated in full, and added.
 * 2) The importance of the people mentioned should be explained further. Lenze does not have an article in enWP--the german one should be translated into here also.
 * 3) Most important, you must have 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases) that show the notability of the subject--magazine or newspaper articles about it, or books mentioning it in a substantial way. It's OK if they are in German, but then you should translate the title, and probably quote and translate a key sentence or two. The deWP does not always insist on this for things whose importance is obvious, but the enWP does. And much may be obvious to a typical German that is not obvious at all to a typical English speaker
 * 4) Things notable in any country are notable in enWP also, but it has to be shown in English.
 * Dear DGG, thank you for your note. It's a Wiki. Best --Weissmann (talk) 07:22, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Further Appeal
Please can someone tell me what this article is about? From this discussion I think it's some kind of committee to promote a region of Germany (possibly culturally or economically, not sure), but the first paragraph should tell me that (or, ir I'm wrong, what it actually is about). Why is this "thing" notable? There's a list of "notable persons", but what have they got to do with the subject? Have they been members of this committee? What has the committee achieved? Are there any Secondary sources? Sure, this has been deemed notable in the German version, but the English version, as it stands, does not demonstrate this. Thanks.

This is a case for speedy ...
IMHO this is absolutly not notable. A small NGO with 3,000 member ... what have they done? Saved the Listertalsperre? This is ridiculous ... Stop, breath, count to 21, be civil, take a step back ... Okay, delete it please. Sebastian scha. (talk) 07:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I guess you are wrong. It is a traditional and important organization for Sauerland culture and 3,000 members are a lot, aren't they? You can find here other and younger organizations with less members. The Sauerländer Heimatbund is something like the "soul of Sauerland". Best --Weissmann (talk) 09:09, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it is not it show me the national notability for this thing? A member newspaper! Okay my sportsclub has a member newspaper (with an id number) and more members than Sauerländer Heimatverein. This is not myspace or facebook. Sebastian scha. (talk) 14:11, 23 August 2008 (UTC) This was rude sorry. I should not edit without my coffee. Please leave comments or other at Articles for deletion/Sauerländer Heimatbund, not here, not my and not your talk page. Thank you. Sebastian scha. (talk) 14:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
