No apparent notability.Galassi (talk) 23:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * strong keep Notability of Knight's Cross recipients has been established before. An example would be Karl Brommann see discussion Articles for deletion/Karl Brommann. Hugo Ruf is formally listed in Fellgiebel and Scherzer and their is no doubt about him having received the highest military award of the Third Reich. MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

 * KEEP As above he was awarded the Highest Military Award of Nazi Germany. Notability established in the Karl Brommann AFD --Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:40, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - Recipients of this award are just as notable as recipients of the Victoria cross or the Congressional Medal of Honor. We also have a  List full of them and a category too, so I would say the notability is well established.  Grandmartin11 (talk) 23:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Recipient of his country's highest award. Definitely notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - While I agree that because of the award, he deserves are much mention as Victoria cross or Congressional Medal of Honor, but if you look at the list of recipients, they all tend to be much better sourced than this article. I think a list such as List_of_American_Civil_War_Medal_of_Honor_recipients:_G-L would be much better.  129.105.104.246 (talk) 17:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
