[edit] Else Grabner

Added by an anonymous author, zero non-wiki google hits, I put a If this page does not list a reference by the end of the week, I am nominating it for deletion on the talk page a week ago. Its writing style alone makes me suspicious that this is a spurious work of imagination, for example Her power over the camp, the more than 60,000 female and juvenile inmates, and more than 1,000 female guards, was absolute. - it's possible that she was an actual person, but even if she was, Wikipedia is unlikely to be lessened by losing this article, and since it seems "likely" to say it's a hoax (since all other female Nazi guards listed on Wikipedia are google-able), I'd rather we be safe, and not used at another plaything for the media ("I put my three year old daughter on Wikipedia as a Nazi guard, and it stayed up for months", etc) Sherurcij ^{(talk) (bounties)} 18:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I did a search at http://www.ravensbruck.nl/ and turned up nothing about Frau Grabner. -- MisterHand 18:33, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as possible hoax, if not then clearly unverifiable. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 22:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and tag for expert review. It would be a shame to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Acctorp 17:44, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and tag for expert review as suggested above. This issue has arisen before. A good many of the articles on Female guards in Nazi concentration camps have been supplied by a single editor 68.248.199.3 (talk • contribs) (also as 68.248.199.2 (talk • contribs)) who cites the source as a book: The Camp Women: The Female Auxiliaries Who Assisted the SS in Running the Concentration Camp System, by Daniel Patrick Brown. But it worries me that this editor seems to be the sole source. Tearlach 03:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
