Is Heinz Ostmann notable? The article is a register entry in prose. — wulf1992 (talk) 12:01, 25 February 2022 (VMT)

Every person in the register has an article. That is the policy. — Fenn_O (talk) 07:30, 28 February 2022 (VMT)

@Fenn_O Understood. Keep. — latel1949 (talk) 18:59, 3 March 2022 (VMT)

I have trimmed the lead. It said Heinz Ostmann was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — Bernd_of_Vellhausen (talk) 17:18, 15 August 2023 (VMT)

@Bernd_of_Vellhausen I think it is fine as it is. The Encyclopedia is not a newspaper. — wulf1992 (talk) 12:47, 19 August 2023 (VMT)

Reverted a change that described the subject as “of national importance”. The source for that was the editor's own opinion. — Fenn_O (talk) 07:16, 23 August 2023 (VMT)

Fine by me. Thanks, all. — latel1949 (talk) 18:45, 27 August 2023 (VMT)
