Luftwaffe Honor plate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An apparently trivial decoration; significant RS coverage not found either in English (link) nor in German (link), just passing mentions and / or non RS. A de.wiki article exists but is equally unconvincing for notability: link. Article includes no sources, apart from links to self-published web site. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:26, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Potential Keep -- It is appropriate to have an article on an award (if verifable), but probably not even a list of awardees. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not even sure if it was an official decoration; it might have been a personal gift from Goering, by the look of things and given the dearth of coverage. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:50, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep or Redirect – the award existed from June 1942 until December 1944 and could be presented to soldiers of the Luftwaffe who fought in ground combat, similar in nature to the Honour Goblet of the Luftwaffe for aerial crews and paratroopers. The honour plate was replaced by the Honour Roll Clasp of the Luftwaffe. If the consensus here is to delete the article, I would suggest creating an article "Awards and decorations of the Luftwaffe" and article similar to Awards and decorations of the Kriegsmarine by

 * Keep. The award itself is notable, although its recipients aren't inherently notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:04, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment -- so far, none of the Keep voters have offered any sources. This looks to be a trivial award. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:44, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect/merge to an appropriate list of Nazi decorations. The measure of notability is coverage in reliable sources, and, as noted above, this seems to be mentioned only by self-published websites.  Sandstein   10:27, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to List of military decorations of Nazi Germany. It is covered in Insignia, Decorations and Badges of the Third Reich and Occupied Countries by R. Kahl and in Osprey's The Hermann Göring Division. No reason to excise from Wikipedia, although a paragraph (with image) at the list article would suffice. Srnec (talk) 12:23, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge per Srnec. Non-notable enough for a stand-alone article but sufficient sources exist to warrant mention in the appropriate list article. Regards  So Why  12:33, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
