American Free Corps

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No 'American Free Corps' actually existed. A note that no such unit existed should be placed at Waffen-SS foreign volunteers and conscripts, but wikipedia should not be perpetuating any myth that such a unit existed. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:07, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:11, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - The source provided says that the American Free Corps did not exist. The only purpose of this article seems to be to dispel a myth; that is not adequate rationale to keep an article. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 20:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that the term has some popular culture links, a Redirect to Waffen-SS foreign volunteers and conscripts would be logical per the above. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:54, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - information in the article about U.S. citizens in Wehrmacht/SS service can be mentioned in other articles; in any case, with only two examples, the topic is almost completely insignificant. W. B. Wilson (talk) 06:31, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Mother Night, since this is, I believe, a fictional construct created by Kurt Vonnegut in that book. If there were Americans in the Waffen SS (I have no idea on this question one way or the other), that material can be incorporated into the appropriate place elsewhere.

 * A merge and redirect to British Free Corps is another way to play this. Carrite (talk) 03:07, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
