There is a supposedly prophetic quote in Spengler's article…
… with one 1964 book as source. While that book does provide the quote, in turn citing an unknown other source, if you search it on Google, you get no more than 19 self-referencing results.
For a quote of that caliber, this seems far too few to be deemed reliable. You'd expect it to be all over works from the past 75+ years.

I have created a draft translation of the German Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen article. I am having trouble satisfying notability requirements for the English Wikipedia, particularly due to a lack of sources. Any assistance would be appreciated in constructing the article to satisfy guidelines. Tule-hog (talk) 02:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For years, it has really grinded my gears that loads of articles about German people use time periods (Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany; a recent example I have come across is Paul von Hindenburg) as the location in the place of birth/death section of the infobox. That seems utterly senseless to me. The country was never called Weimar Republic or Nazi Germany. These are time periods, not locations! How would Americans like it if I changed the infobox for William Randolph Hearst to read born in San Francisco, American Civil War?! Has this ever been discussed?

Editors are invited to contribute to the discussion at Template talk:Hanoverian princes to decide whether individuals, where no proper source verifies the claim that someone is a prince of Hanover, should be removed from the template. --Theoreticalmawi (talk) 17:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Giant Schnauzer has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page.

I have suspicions that this BLP might be either an WP:AUTOBIO or a paid article. The creator cited German-language sources. Is there anyone available who can verify whether the coverage meets the requirements of significant and in-depth coverage as outlined in WP:N? —Saqib (talk | contribs) 18:34, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]There is a discussion at Soviet War Memorial (Treptower Park) about the war memorial's naming history that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 15:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]I'm hopeful that members of this project might be able to fill out some of the missing sources for an article on this art critic and historian. I've got to a bid of a blank about his wider career, and am struggling to find sources that mention the statue that is dedicated to him in Baden-baden. Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 07:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Hin Bredendieck article was created by the subject's great-grand-nephew. I have no opinion on whether Hin Bredendieck is notable enough to warrant an article, but I thought it would be prudent to ask, here, for an expert on Germany to give it a look and weigh in.
