Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alfredo Carpaneto


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. After two relists I am unsatisfied that a clear and indisputable consensus will form, so I am closing this under the banner of no consensus. The possibility of a redirect and restoration of material removed in contentious circumstances from the article may be raised on the talk page if so desired. KaisaL (talk) 02:47, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

While the subject meets WP:Soldier, they do not appear to meet GNG. I was unable to find significant coverage by RS; Google books search produces a one line mention in Tigers in Combat Vol I (as having received the Knight's Cross), and two mentions in memoirs by another WWII soldier, Otto Carius.

 * Keep this is a classic example of an editor deleting large amounts of text and sources then nominating it for deletion. There were several sources on this article prior to their deletion by the nominator. Please check the article history for such behaviour when supporting a deletion nomination. A check of "what links here" would show that his award is fully cited on the list at List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (C) to Scherzer and Fellgiebel, including his rank at the time, the date of award and his position at the time of award. It is not that hard to make such checks before nominating for deletion or supporting deletion. All of this information should have been available to editors considering deletion, yet it is not, due to the deletion of significant parts of the article prior to its nomination.

 * Nom's comment: In this case, I was able to find one-line mention in Tigers in Combat, Volume 1 by Wolfgang Schneider and one line mention in Tiger Tank Battalions in World War II by George Forty. Additional Google book search results bring up fellow tank man Otto Carius. It looks that the subject still fails GNG.


 * Separately, as was suggested on my Talk page, I'm included a Oct 2015 version of the article, before I edited it. It was section-tagged Refimporve since 2013. I believe that years is a sufficient window to establish notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:29, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Add: No entry for the subject in Neue Deutsche Biographie, the online German biographical encyclopedia.

 * Redirect: if significant coverage can't be established, a redirect is possibly the best solution here. I'd suggest redirecting to: List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (C). If significant coverage can be established at a later date, I'd support re-creation. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:44, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
