Obscure term with no significant coverage in RS. Possibly redirect to Rottenfuhrer or "Ranks and insignia of the Hitler Youth", if the latter article is kept. buidhe 18:17, 28 January 2019 (UTC)reply
Not sufficiently notable for an article of its own and no significant RS coverage (the RS found by Icewhiz is not available for viewing to me, so I can't tell if there's anything in-depth in it). Redirect to
Ranks and insignia of the Hitler Youth if that's kept, otherwise Redirect to
Hitler Youth but only if there's a mention of the term merged into that article per the way its AFD is going.

My citation merely supports the existence of the rank in the Hitlerjugend rank structure - there's a list there (ordered by rank) on page 60 + drawings of the shoulder marks of each the 18 ranks in the next page (61) - nothing in-depth (does not preclude there being in-depth sourcing elsewhere, however per Hitler Youth's readable prose size of 16Kb - I would still think this should be addressed there prior to a spinout).

Redirect to
Hitler Youth article, and not to the
Ranks and insignia of the Hitler Youth article, IF it is not kept (which, as I have stated in discussion is not needed for a stand alone page and it looks as if the AfD for the "Ranks" page will go that way). No doubt this HJ rank existed, but not notable for stand alone article.

Delete: obscure enough that a redirect is not necessary.

Redirects are free. Anything that helps someone find a term, however obscure, is useful. --

"Oberrottenführer" does not appear in the
Hitler Youth article; it's generally not a good practice to redirect to a page that does not mention the topic.

Please read what
User:Icewhiz actually wrote. If
Ranks and insignia of the Hitler Youth is not kept then it will clearly be merged with
Hitler Youth. The term will therefore appear in one article or the other. Why are you so keen to get this completely deleted? I'm mystified, to be honest. --

I've read what Icewhiz said. If someone wants to add sourced material to the Hitler Youth page and then create a redirect, I don't think anyone would object. Until then, there's no point in having a redirect when the target page does not mention the topic. Why are you so intent on getting this redirected now? I'm perplexed, to be honest. --
