Arnulf Abele

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A directory-like listing with almost no encyclopedically relevant prose. Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & significant RS coverage not found: link. No de.Wiki article. Topped out as a colonel; did not hold a significant command.

Please also see a note at MilHist Talk Archives. In summary, per the outcome of the discussion at Notability:People on notability of Knight's Cross recipients: permalink, certain recipients were deemed non notable and WP:SOLDIER has been modified accordingly: diff. The articles on these recipients were redirected to alphabetical lists. In this particular case, the article has been restored from a redirect, but no new sources have been added. I don't believe that such sources exist, either in German or English, hence this AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:48, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment. Depends what level of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany he had. That might meet WP:ANYBIO #1. Although if it was the Verdienstkreuz 1. Klasse (as I assume it probably was) then it almost certainly wouldn't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:43, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect to list. also reverted a redirect on Paul Fenn which has since been restored.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 15:45, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - If reverting redirects continues, maybe they should all be fully protected.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk</b> 16:10, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Yet another NN holder of Nazi Knight's Cross, whose award was too profligate to provide notability without more. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:18, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
