Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Otto Schneider (SS officer)
to List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Sa–Schr). As a verified KC recipient it seems a valid search term to me; however, it does seem to lack the significant coverage req'd for a standalone article. On the wider topic of how to handle these entries I'd say that all the verified recipients lacking |SIGCOV could be redirected to the parent article in a similar fashion. Perhaps also for the unverified recipients too. The fact that they appear in a number of widely available sources (even if unreliable) which state that they may or may not have received the award indicates to me that someone somewhere is likely at some point to be interested in finding out more about them and that at the very least they are valid search terms also. I'm not even convinced that they should be removed from the parent articles either to be honest. Why can't we retain the information about these unverified awards but just make it clear that they are unverified (and the reasons why)? That would make Wikipedia more comprehensive and is better than just blowing them up and salting the earth so they never grow again. I don't see why we need to delete them wholesale and think that that would be a bad outcome
