This article was the subject of a deletion discussion a short time ago. In retrospect it may have been causing confusion to deal with two people at once. However some people have interpreted this discussion as delete, others thought it was a weak keep. This ought to be clarified. PatGallacher (talk) 13:48, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Procedural delete Looking at the other AfD it was six delete votes to four keep votes, and all of the keeps where along the lines of "Keep because he was the head of a dynastic family." Whereas, the delete votes actually focused on the guidelines. Given that, It is extremely bizarre there was any confusion about things and that the article was recreated instead of just being deleted. Unless I'm missing something this seems like a pretty clear case where the outcome of the original AfD should have been respected by deleting the article. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:05, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Let's leave this nomination to run its course. --Tone 08:16, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: A wide range of business activities in several countries (Germany, The Netherlands & Canada). One of the largest private forest owners in British Columbia. I think it's a little sad to see so many user speaking for the deletion of this article rather than spend some time on improving it. Clearly there are material and sources for his business activities that could provide for an article of the double length of the present version. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 21:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Most of the article is about Friedrich's family. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 18:01, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
