Heiko Schrang

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not enough notable. Lacks in-depth, independent coverage from reliable pubs. All the sources are in a foreign language (German), of which I have a basic understanding. Source one is from a reliable pub, but just a passing mention. Source two, not notable pub, reliability is also questionable, which is beside the fact, cause it's just nothing but passing mentions. Source three, reliable pub, but just single line one word passing mention. Source four, reliable pub, but same story, just a few lines mention. Finally, source five seems to be the only source with some in-depth coverage, but not a notable pub, reliability is also at stake. Reads like a promo. Now, If the BLP is a case of Sources Exist, then one is welcome to list them either here or add em in the article. Update: Since my initial nom, 4 new sources have been introduced. And they really don't do much. This from Die Tageszeitung is just a passing mention, it reads: Nerling was always out and about with his camera at the rallies, interviewing participants or other alternative media makers such as Heiko Schrang (Schrang TV). This from DER SPIEGEL is a Primary Source (interview). This from some random pub named Muslim-Markt is also an interview titled Muslim market interviews Heiko Schrang - author of the book "The lie of the century that only insiders know.". This is, however, a short bio, from a non-notable (judging by the search results regarding it) book named Was War Wann. Tame (talk) 17:02, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I checked all sources and they are reliable. You mentioned that Source two is not notable. So are questioning Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as a reliable source? Schrang is well known in the scene of what is called "Alternative Media" in Germany and the articel is as deep as there are reliable sources for. --Bestof2022 (talk) 22:25, 18 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @Bestof2022, I searched for FAZ.NET on google and usually on a cursory look, if it's a notable pub, the results show up in a knowledge graph. Anyway, I refute that claim now as it appears it is notable, which is, as I mentioned already, besides the point, cause the source is an opinioned commentary piece on conspiracies related to Corona, which mentions the subject along with others. There is no in-depth coverage of the subject in this article. It's not about him. Tame (talk) 04:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Heiko Schrang is one of the most important German conspiracy actors. Questioning the sources is silly and only distracting. All major German media reported about him over the course of time. Keep --Norbert Eb (talk) 19:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * All major German media reported about him- you're welcome to list some here which aren't passing mentions, but in-depth coverage. Tame (talk) 20:11, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete As written I don't think that notability is there. If there were a page for "Querdenker Movement" then the contents of this article might be rewritten as a few sentences on such a page. Gusfriend (talk) 12:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
