List of Knight's Cross recipients 16th SS Panzer Grenadier Division Reichsführer SS

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The list article contains two entries, one of each is a redirect to a list. Per the recent discussion (Redirect proposal for Knight's Cross winners), it's highly unlikely that the redirected subject would be considered notable in the future and the list is not needed. For full disclosure, I've edited the article in the past (original version) to remove intricate detail, but it has always contained just two names.

The article was created by the same editor who created about 500 articles on the members of the Waffen-SS, and the cross caterigorisation of "Knight's Cross winner" by [X] category strikes me as excessive. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:16, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

 * DElete -- We have been getting rid of a lot of material on German Knight's Cross recipients. This appears to be an effort to save it by providing lists by regiment.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Clarification: the list was created in the same timeframe (2008) at a time when the Knight's Cross recipients were presumed by default to be notable. This has changed recently, so both the articles created by the editor in question, along with the lists, are no longer encyclopedically relevant. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
