Adolf Hitler Uunona
- ... that Adolf Hitler is not planning world domination? Source: Sky News
- Reviewed: Dachau camp trial
- Comment: For April Fools Day (if it survives the AFD of course)
Created by Finleyb43 (talk) and The C of E (talk). Nominated by The C of E (talk) at 17:14, 4 December 2020 (UTC).
A few bits besides the ongoing AFD:
- The article is under minimum length (I count around 1,400 characters one the quotes are stripped out)
- I note that Newsweek (post 2013) is listed as WP:RSP as "not generally reliable" and to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Can the information it is used to cite be cited elsewhere?
- Likewise Bild is listed at WP:RSP as unreliable
More than happy to take a proper look once the AFD has run its course - Dumelow (talk) 07:10, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Strictly speaking, under rule A2 of WP:DYKSG, only block quotes are excluded rather than regular ones. As for the other sources, I have replaced the Newsweek one. I have kept the Bild one because that was the original source of the interview but I have backed it up with other sources that mention the German interview. The C of E God Save the Queen!

- No worries, I'll check back in later once the AFD has reached a resolution - Dumelow (talk) 10:01, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: The AFD has closed now. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:15, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks The C of E. As stated, the Newsweek source is now gone and Bild is only used to cite the fact that he was in a n interview with them. Article has increased in length and is now comfortably above the minimum. The quote "It doesn't mean I'm striving for world domination" is in the article and backed up by the source (Sky News), which also calls the subject "Adolf Hitler". I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing and all quotes are appropriately indicated; approving if, and only if, this is used as an April Fool's Day hook. Otherwise I think it is too "out there", even for the quirky slot - Dumelow (talk) 08:31, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
