Proposed deletion of Ritter von Krauss


The article Ritter von Krauss has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * There are no references for this and a google search turned up nothing on this person

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PTJoshua (talk) 22:53, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ritter von Krauss


A tag has been placed on Ritter von Krauss requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. PTJoshua (talk) 16:45, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Ritter von Krauss for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ritter von Krauss is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Ritter von Krauss until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. PTJoshua (talk) 17:50, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Before commenting at the deletion discussion, please read these key content policies. I have quoted relevant sentences, but you should read the whole policies.
 * WP:Verifiability: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true. "
 * WP:No original research: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it."
 * If the article is to be kept, it is esential to provide reliable sources to confirm what it says. It says, for instance, that the book "Tiger Battalion" "finally appeared in 2010." Can you give a publisher and ISBN number? JohnCD (talk) 18:03, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

References and wikilinks
I have undone the change you made to the article today, because that is not how references work. What you replaced were "wikilinks" providing a link to another Wikipedia article, and were correct as they were. What should go between tags is a reference to an outside source that verifies what the article says. See WP:CITE for how to cite references. JohnCD (talk) 12:05, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, as you did with Ritter von Krauss. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Also, please do not remove maintenance templates until the issues they raise have been addressed.
