District of a German town. As such, likely notable and probably also sourceable, see the German language version. But the article has remained unsourced despite a "unsourced" tag since 2009. Unsourced content must either be sourced or deleted, see
WP:V, a core policy. Since nobody has provided sources for at least 12 years, the verifiability policy now requires deletion or draftification. Sandstein 10:58, 18 December 2022 (UTC)reply
Redirect or stubify (with a source confirming existence) are the obvious
WP:ATD here; both are preferable to immediate deletion or slow deletiondraftification. I don't see a good reason for this to be at AFD. —

keep It's evident from the German article that this is/was a town with a long history. The nominator deserves a
WP:SOFIXITWP:TROUT for not simply grabbing a cite from the other version, but since I've done so I don't see deletion as an outcome, and I don't think redirecting to Fürth makes sense in any case.

I'm not just going to "grab a cite". That's sloppy editing. Citing sources is done as part of the article-writing process: the source must be reliable, available, must be read by the writer, and reflect the article content. Just copy-pasting citations makes a mockery of our verifiability policy. That's why I think that long unsourced blocks of text are best deleted and rewritten from scratch with citations.

That discussion was about a different article: an article about some blog called "The Vach" that the article about the district was overwritten with. The discussion did not concern the article abut the district. When I restored that article, I noticed its deficiency and therefore started this second AfD.

Keep. Given it was a separate settlement until 1972 it clearly passes
WP:GEOLAND. And the German article is well-sourced. AfD is to determine notability of the topic, not quality of the article or its sourcing. This is clearly notable. --
