Last will and testament of Adolf Hitler

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Only two references to the article. WP:NOTABLE is being brought into question. Micro-Cruzer (talk) 20:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Looks good enough to me. Unless the nominator has good evidence for saying that the http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/documents/poltest.htm page is a fake... Peridon (talk) 20:31, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment It is perhaps worthy of note that the nominator is a new account who in half an hour has made two AfD nominations, and taken part in a sockpuppet investigation. Peridon (talk) 20:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Does the site look like a professional or reliable source? Micro-Cruzer (talk) 20:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep Before nominating, for lack of nobility, a last document from a head of state establishing the national command to follow him, the nominator should have looked beyond the two references included in the article for more references from reliable and independent sources with significant coverage. A Google book search shows 643 hits for hitler "last will and testament" , as seen at . It was covered in William Shirer's "The rise and fall of the Third Reich" and in Hugh Trevor Roper's "The last days of Hitler" to name two of the better known books  about the subject. "Inside the Third Reich" by Albert Speer says (p488) that Admiral Doenitz "constantly invoked Hitler's ;ast will and testament" as the basis for his non-constitutional accession to power.
