Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of German Americans
Many reliable sources have been presented for why classification of people in America by ethnic or national origin is notable and significant. While there may be some disagreement over whether this should list ''every'' notable American with verifiable German heritage, or only those Americans who have at least one full-German parent, or only people who are identified as German-Americans in reliable sources, or only people who verifiably self-identify as German-Americans, or only those Americans whose German heritage itself is a notable aspect of their identity, etc., etc., this does not constitute a reason to delete. I fully believe that discussion on the article's talk page can come to a |consensus for reasonably objective and verifiable inclusion criteria which balances comprehensiveness with maintainability
