Christel Bankewitz

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a female concentration-camp guard. The main reference is evidently from a Polish museum project to do with the Stutthof camp. I cannot read Polish, and am willing to assume that the sources are accurate and verify the content of the article, but there must have been hundreds if not thousands of camp guards, and just having been one is not enough for notability. Searches find her in lists like this, one of 295 names, but none of the "significant coverage" required by the WP:GNG

In my view, this would qualify for WP:CSD#A7 speedy deletion, but I bring it as a test case, the first of a series of similar articles about female camp guards created by new user Racine262 (talk · contribs). If the result is delete, I will nominate the others as a batch, unless any of them have distinguishing feature suggesting individual notability. JohnCD (talk) 22:08, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:SOLDIER and WP:PERP appear to be the most relevant guidelines, which the subject fails. - Location (talk) 03:02, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ changed to Comment. Please, no more articles like this about any one of the hundreds of staff members usually listed in blocks of data in Holocaust literature. Probably more info could be found eventually, but I would like to encourage the author to focus his attention rather on convicted war criminals from the Stutthof trials who don't have articles yet. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 07:32, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There were 295 women guards (Aufseherinen) at Stutthof.[1] In most cases, their postwar whereabouts and even the dates of their births and deaths are not known. Also, I just noticed that the stub in German Wikipedia about Christel Bankewitz was already deleted. Poeticbent talk 15:10, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Entirely unremarkable, one in thousands. Renata (talk) 15:05, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
