Oberndorf Aircaft Barrier

A topic is presumed to be failed to be suitable for a stand-alone article per WP:GNG.  Je Bon Ser  (talk &#124; sign) 02:43, 11 July 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Several redirects have been proposed, is there one that is settled upon? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:29, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Two World War II cables intended to obstruct Allied airplanes do not merit an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:11, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Military and Germany. Shellwood (talk) 07:39, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd like to propose merge to Anti-aircraft warfare as an alternative to deletion (WP:ATD-M). More specifically, this could be condensed into a single-sentence bullet point in the same list where barrage balloons are mentioned. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:32, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oberndorf am Neckar (identified below) is probably a better merge target, as it would allow for more extensive coverage. Ljleppan (talk) 06:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Oberndorf am Neckar and/or Anti-aircraft warfare. While not necessarily warranting a separate article at this point, the topic is interesting and notable enough to be recorded. It is not merely about "two World War II cables" but also about 3 aircraft crashes directly caused by them. Bermicourt (talk) 12:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It's similar to the use of barrage balloons, so would fit there. I don't know if this is the only example of cables used for AA purposes or if it's one of a type;  I have a vague recollection of hearing about something similar in the past, but it may have been this example!

 * Comment If a redirect is created it would be nice to correct the spelling of 'Aircaft' and de-capitalise at the same time. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by)  11:35, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but no aircaft ever came close to Obendorf either. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:09, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Rename to Oberndorf aircraft barrier, Delete the mis-spelt title, Redirect and Merge to Oberndorf am Neckar, and find a WP:RS for the claim. The website Whitecross Battlefield Tours has a useful description and photographs, but it's not the sort of site we'd usually consider reliable. The German Wiki article has as its sole source a local poster describing the history, again useful but not exactly an ideal ref either. Also mention it was called Oberndorf Fliegersperre. This really isn't the way to construct Wikipedia. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:14, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely unsourced, failing WP:V and therefore unsuitable for a merger.  Sandstein   07:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
