Karl Emmermann

Doesn't seem like a notable person. Thoroughly fails WP:GNG. As far as I can tell, this person is only originally mentioned very passingly in a work by Marx and Engels, and subsequent sources based on that are similarly passing (like just dropping his name and that's it). There is no corresponding article in any other language Wikipedia.

n.b. There is a later U-boat captain with the same name, so don't let that confuse you in search. Curbon7 (talk) 22:28, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete unless someone can expand the article to provide substantial content. At present all we have is probably the quotation of a footnote.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete no sourcing found. Oaktree b (talk) 19:52, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added some sources, which are possibly secondary or tertiary references on Marx's life and work and include Karl Emmermann's references. It is hard to believe that such a historical person if was so insignificant had such mentions in multiple occasions in scholarly discourses. Besides, we need to be considerate when trying to find digital reference of a person from nineteenth century. Cirton (talk) 20:39, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * But there's still zero biographical detail about him, where he was born, educated, died etc. or even why Marx mentioned him. Mztourist (talk) 07:48, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
