List of Knight's Cross recipients 22nd Volunteer cavalry Division Maria Theresia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list article that contains one entry. For full disclosure, I've edited the article to remove those entries that have been redirected (see prior version. The blue linked articles, except one, have been redirected 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.

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 individual articles created by the editor in question, along with the lists, are no longer encyclopedically relevant.

 * Delete since a list by definition has more than one thing though I am tempted to suggest merging with List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (X–Z). Surprising how many Z names there are. Hyperbolick (talk) 16:48, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- there's nothing to merge as the name already appears on in the List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (X–Z) article. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Rename and restructure as an article on the regiment. I think we have already established that the Knight's Cross was too commonly awarded to be notable.  I think we have articles on every regiment in the British army, so that I do not see why we should not on divisions in the German army, even though in this case the regiments will not have existed for more than a few years.

 * Delete as stand alone article. Note to Peterkingiron, there is already an article on this division. Now, it appears that article needs work and if some cited information from this article can be transferred over to and improve the division article, then it should be done before this one is deleted.
