 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was speedily redirected to Theodore von Hippel. There may be an argument for moving that article to the German spelling (Theodor) but this should be notified on WP:RM and discussed on the talk page Talk:Theodore von Hippel. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:55, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Theodor von Hippel
I cannot find any evidence to support the existence of this person, who is supposed to be a World War II-era German military leader. There seems to be someone with his name who lived in the 1700s, but that's all I can discern. The page is currently a one-line orphan. Merovingian 21:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete --Merovingian 21:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as incorrect spelling. Information exists at Theodore von Hippel. Eddie.willers 22:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * NOTE - what the heck, I thought. Why not just place a redirect to Theodore von Hippel?. Eddie.willers 22:42, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The German spelling of the name is "Theodor". Also note that de.wikipedia has an entry on Theodor_Gottlieb_von_Hippel, the 18th century author. Pilatus 23:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC).
 * Redirected as either an alternate spelling (or possibly a plausible misspelling). - Mike Rosoft 00:17, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't do that! Pilatus 00:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This IS of course the correct German spelling. Content from Theodore von Hippel should be moved to this page. Martg76 20:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It's listed on Requested Moves. Note to the closing admin - could he move the page, please! Pilatus 22:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
