[edit] Antonia Rachbauer

Part of the ongoing campaign to remove WWII articles about people who have never been recorded as having existed. There is no non-wiki verification of her existence, details are purposely vague, and the possibility that Wikipedia is being used to spread in-jokes and misinformation is too great Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 03:39, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete in the absence of evidence of any kind of personal significance. Scranchuse 03:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete as to prevent injokes. Would be more confident if you could point me to the written policy. Mystache 04:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment This has the ring of authenticity about it. I've checked out the original author User:68.248.199.3, who appears to be a heavy and serious contributor to Wiki and have left a note on their talk page about this AfD. This editor has created a number of similar articles. If they are genuine, it seems not right to delete all of this information and it may be a case of putting into in a bigger article and using existing pages as a redirect. If the articles are hoaxes, then we have a vandal of the first order. Tyrenius 04:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete unverified, and not notable anyway - there were 55,000 guards --Astrokey44 04:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - 1) unverified; 2) not notable; 3) attack page (alleges criminal action) -- Simon Cursitor 07:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The original creator hasn't been active under that IP since last June and is thus unlikely to see Tyrenius's message. As for verifiability, the parent article Female guards in Nazi concentration camps features the following references, which are the most likely sources for this one too:
    • Aroneanu, Eugene, ed. Inside the Concentration Camps Trans. Thomas Whissen. Praeger, 1996.
    • Brown, Daniel Patrick. The Camp Women The SS Auxiliaries who Assisted the SS in Running the Nazi Concentration Camp System. Schiffer Publishing, 2002, ISBN 0764314440
    • Hart, Kitty. Return to Auschwitz: The Remarkable Story of a Girl Who Survived the Holocaust. Atheneum, 1983.
Anybody able to get hold of some of these and check? - No vote as to the "notability" criterion. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
