• Keep. This article has a language link to Norwegian. There are numerous books in Norwegian on this topic, written by unmerited amateur historians. --Habilemonkac (talk) 14:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

• If it was written by a banned user, then Speedy Delete as a G5, otherwise Keep, it seems reasonably notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph2302 (talk • contribs) 14:31, March 20, 2015‎ (UTC)

At least 4 other users including myself have edited the article. --Habilemonkac (talk) 15:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

• Comment -- This is a bad article, but on an important subject. the Norwegian WP article looks much better, not being laced with statements that they were an SS organisation. The article seems to rely mainly on two sources: a published article and a Norwegian master's thesis. Unfortunately, my Swedish is not good enough for me to read the Norwgegian WP article or the Norwegian sources cited here. I am unsure whther the best course is to reduce it to a stub or to delete it for someone to start again. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:43, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

"Frontsøster" is a common phrase in Norwegian and relates to women who volunteered to as health workers for the Germans in war zones during WW11. However, if you google the german phrase frontschester/n there aren't a whole lot of entries; and those who exist appear to refer as much to women in WWI as women in WWII. There may be something in here that is worthy of its own article also on WPEN; but both title and scope needs to be better defined; also in order to get the article NPOV.

• Speedy delete per G5 as an article created by a blocked/banned user in violaton of block/ban; and block Habilemonkac per WP:DUCK. Iselilja (talk) 20:12, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
• Speedy delete (and rewrite) per G5 - recent edits have only been small additions (WP:G5), one short paragraph can be easily saved or restored. If the topic is notable, the article should be rewritten from scratch. It should be based on research from established historians and other topic experts, not primarily on a brand-new thesis from November 2014 (published in February 2015). Such sources should be used more carefully (WP:RS), especially for a controversial topic. GermanJoe (talk) 07:28, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
• Keep it seems reasonably notable. I can not see that the article says that it "were an SS organisation", although having SS-physician Ernst-Robert Grawitz as one's leader for many years might have some ramifications. --White girl syndrome (talk) 09:57, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
