Nobelkarossentod
Good day to you,

concerning your request on my talk-page: I will not restore the article for the time being,. Besides the grounds mentioned during the deletion, there are some more things to take into account:

- the term is not as widespread as you seem to think; even in Germany, it is somewhat restricted to Berlin and Hamburg, and even there is only used in certain "environment", so more or less, if even so, of only local importance.

- the term being mentioned sometimes in published newspapers does not make it notable by itself; as it stands, it is more or less a dicdef; I for one fail to see the notability.

- the term in itself is POV, as it is used in a rather condescending way by certain groups.

- the "Löschantrag" in de-wiki is rather undecided at the moment, and yes, it is relevant for en-wiki if something is deleted on another wiki.

- an admin on en-wiki can speedy delete on sight.

If you want to contest the deletion, you may do so at deletion review.

Zum Schluss: ich weiss nicht, ob es aufgefallen ist, aber ich bin der Deutschen Sprache mächtig, habe somit recherchiert. Lectonar (talk) 16:16, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
