Added link to the DE wiki which has a fully-referenced article for your consideration... Quityergreeting (talk) 14:27, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing is achieved for building wikipedia by nominating an entry for deletion two hours after it has been started. You simply discourage desperately needed contributions. There's abundant good quality material on the subject already in German wikipedia, which is what you might expect for events that took place in what became Germany. Not a bad place to start for building an entry in English wikpedia, though plenty more accessible sourcing turns up on-line with a bit of intelligent googling. Wikipedia has eye-watering ambitions for building its scope. Sadly, as you may think it, not all history has the sheer decency to happen and be written up in God's own language. That's not really a sufficient reason to pretend it didn't happen or, if it did happen, didn't matter. Success Charles01 (talk) 10:09, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep all of the sources from the de wiki have now been added, which is surely grounds for this AfD discussion to be closed. Quityergreeting (talk) 16:58, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I was able to find Googlebook references going back to at least 1954, so it is unlikely a hoax. Agathoclea (talk) 10:08, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per above. A well written article with sources. BlackJackPlayer (talk) 10:52, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - should not have been nominated. WP:BEFORE reminds editors to look for interlanguage links - the German version of the article is well-referenced and you could easily have done a search for the German term used as article title. —Мандичка^YO 😜 11:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
