Adolf Hitler's 50th Birthday

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This event does not meet WP:N requirements and the assertations it gives are poorly sourced. After a week with no expansion I feel it is due for deletion. The birthday celebrations of world leaders past or present are not notable in of themselves, and while there may have been a large parade, all claims that it was "the largest celebration in history" are unsourced hyperbole and propaganda.

Delete. Meh! The guy turned fifty, had a party, had a big parade, yadda, yadda, yadda. How was his 50th birthday any more notable than his 51st? How was his birthday parade any more notable than that covered by Riefenstahl et al.? Eddie.willers (talk) 20:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep clearly a notable and significant event. Garibaldi Baconfat 20:07, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the article can be kept with a broadened scope on Hitler's birthdays, as in the German Wikipedia: de:Führergeburtstag is about all of them, including a tiny bit of post-war history. (It doesn't say anything about the date's importance for neo-Nazis, unfortunately). It also has some more sources, but most of them are not directly about Hitler's 50th birthday (and of course, in German). —Кузьма^討論 20:45, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Adolf Hitler and de-merge later when or if it reaches to a size where it needs its own article. --123.243.102.177 (talk) 21:56, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's only source is the Daily Mail for crissakes! Can you say 'slow news day' or 'punishing the writer'? This isn't needed unless anything exciting happened, which reading it, nothing much happened except a power show to the world which had been done many times before.

Are you calling The Daily Mail a pro-fascist piece of tabloid crap? Garibaldi Baconfat 22:42, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they did support the Nazis until they refused to leave Poland (which was what caused us to go to war with them)… DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 23:00, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're saying The Daily Mail espoused Nazi propaganda? Garibaldi Baconfat 23:09, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Adolf Hitler until we can find anything of note. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 23:00, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
