This biography is largely unsupported by sourcing. I previously prodded it, when it only had the passing mention in the New York Times. Now a book reference has been added, but I'm still not convinced if this alone is sufficient for [[WP:BASIC]] and [[WP:GNG]]. Gustav Richter was clearly an SS officer in Romania at some point. Is that alone notable? The SS was a large organisation. There are many more, bold claims in the article that remain unsubstantiated. If even half of these were true, it is surprising that this 14-year-old article has not garnered a few more reliable sources demonstrating substantial coverage of these events by now.

:There are several sources that say that he was the advisor on Jewish affairs in Romania, i.e. the officer in charge of implementing the final solution in a country that was firmly in the Nazi camp but still retained some autonomy. This is much more than just being a "normal" SS officer. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]] ([[User talk:Phil Bridger|talk]]) 15:42, 22 December 2021 (UTC) |

* '''Keep''': A couple of points on this one. Richter seems to have played a somewhat significant role during the Holocaust in Romania, in addition to being the last person known to have seen Wallenberg alive. The corresponding German Wikipedia article lists some offline sources that would likely provide [[WP:SIGCOV]], in particular ''Romania, the Holocaust and the Logic of Violence'' by Heinen.

This biography is largely unsupported by sourcing. I previously prodded it, when it only had the passing mention in the New York Times. Now a book reference has been added, but I'm still not convinced if this alone is sufficient for WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Gustav Richter was clearly an SS officer in Romania at some point. Is that alone notable? The SS was a large organisation. There are many more, bold claims in the article that remain unsubstantiated. If even half of these were true, it is surprising that this 14-year-old article has not garnered a few more reliable sources demonstrating substantial coverage of these events by now.

- Keep the de.wiki article is well-sourced, indicating notability. Mccapra (talk) 20:33, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, as DE wiki has sufficient sources and content to establish WP:NPOSSIBLE even if the EN wiki page is presently poorly sourced. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:36, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
