The result was keep. I'll move this to Murder of Heinz-Josef Große and trust that the participants in this AfD do the necessary re-writing. Randykitty (talk) 17:05, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL / WP:BIO1E / WP:VICTIM. Subject, a construction worker, is only notable for their death. Could possibly be repurposed as an event page, but that would require both re-naming it and restructuring/re-writing it as an event rather than a biography.4meter4 (talk) 11:49, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

- Keep and rename per EaglesFan37. Große's murder is notable enough as one of the inner German border incidents. Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 15:02, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment. The two "keep" votes have substantively made a repurpose as an event page argument. This is an WP:ATD vote (as it is a change in the topic from a biography to an event), which I already mentioned in my nomination as a possible viable outcome. I support that, so we are all on the same page here. The reason this is necessary was already articlulated in the opening nomination in relation to NOTMEMORIAL / BIO1E / VICTIM, but I will add that the sourcing does not meet the threshold to pass GNG for a biography page. It does however pass GNG for an event page. An article about a murder has a very different scope than an article about a person. They are not the same topic.4meter4 (talk) 16:14, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
