List of Knight's Cross recipients 17th SS Panzer Grenadier Division Götz von Berlichingen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list article that contains two entries that are actual articles; the rest are redirects to a list. Per 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.

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. The list was created in 2008, at a time when the Knight's Cross recipients were presumed by default to be notable. This has changed recently, so both the many individual articles created by the editor in question, along with the lists, are no longer encyclopedically relevant. For recent AfDs on comparative lists, please see:
 * AfD: List of Knight's Cross recipients of the 22nd SS Division
 * AfD: List of highly-decorated German pilots of ground attack aircraft

Comparative lists by X category do not exist for highly decorated Allied personnel of WW2. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:38, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Whether or not the Knight's Cross confers notability, there's no real reason to segregate by unit, especially for so few recipients. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
