There don't appear to be any reliable sources here, so the article fails our verifiability policy. There's a primary source (the article itself), and a citation to an FAQ on the Nizkor Project (a self-published website). It's also suggested that this headline has been used by anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers, but of course we would not consider such people and groups to be reliable sources. No evidence that this headline has ever gained any currency outside an extreme right-wing fringe. In my opinion this article fails our general notability guideline and should therefore be deleted. *** Crotalus *** 20:16, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, as there are dozens of reliable sources at Google books and Google Scholar, so its verifiable and notable. Your claims are false. You also want to delete Nizkor Project. What is your agenda? -- Matthead  Discuß   21:03, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:BURDEN and WP:AGF. My only "agenda" is ensuring that we don't have poorly written crufty articles. I have nominated hundreds of different articles from a wide variety of different subjects for deletion. How can we write an encyclopedia article about a headline? Google hits by themselves prove nothing &mdash; you need more than a passing mention. You need reliable sources that focus specifically on the subject. *** Crotalus *** 21:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, or a mirror of every headline from every newspaper in the world 66 years ago. Fails WP:NOTNEWS, and apparently fails notability. Edison (talk) 15:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:NOTNEWS. B.Rossow talk contr 18:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as per WP:NOTNEWS if this was a notable source of Nazi propaganda perhaps it could be mentioned as an example under Nazi propaganda. Simonm223 (talk) 20:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as per above.--Jacurek (talk) 22:59, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


 * This is an odd discussion. The article isn't treating this headline as news, and it's not a precedent for articles about lots of other headlines.  This headline, very unusually, took on a life of its own as a notable anti-Semitic canard.  (Numerous GBooks and GScholar hits demonstrate that.)  I can't think of any other headline with as much notability independent of the event it describes.  All that being said, it would be appropriate to Merge this to Anti-Nazi Boycott of 1933.--Chris Johnson (talk) 07:03, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into an article about a notable event (Judenboykott) mentioned in the article, but not described in wikipedia, it seems. It has sufficient google books hits. Mukadderat (talk) 22:54, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A request to closing admin: if nobody directly related to the page follows my advice, and if you decide to delete the page, please userfy it for me. I will do this in my spare time. Mukadderat (talk) 22:55, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The Judenboykott was the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses. This headline refers to the Anti-Nazi Boycott of 1933.  That's the appropriate merge target.--Chris Johnson (talk) 23:23, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
