Possible hoax. Orphan. No references. The creator was banned with their talk page cluttered with deleted articles they made. No evidence for the mountain existing (all sources I found are clearly "sourced from Wikipedia"; including Google Maps, which is semi-user generated). No official mapping or biodiversity agency has ever covered it. The coordinates provided are to a slightly elevated hill in Naturpark Reinhardswald, and the official website yields no results when "Gladerberg" is searched (https://www.naturpark-reinhardswald.de/content/search?SearchText=Gladerberg). I'm new here and assuming a "speedy delete" is reserved for emergencies? If so, this is not an emergency. BlueSharkLagoon (talk) 16:28, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't quite meet the case for speedy deletion, which is reserved for blatant cases, but it could pass proposed deletion. Delete unless sourcing can be improved. PatGallacher (talk) 18:40, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is a hill called Gahrenberg 12 miles away from the coordinates provided, which the park's official website does confirm exists [1]. For those who don't speak German, the source reads The second highest elevation of the Reinhardswald's forest is the Gahrenberg with 472 m. I think the proposed article is likely a mistranslation/spelling mistake. BlueSharkLagoon (talk) 19:45, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - Not losing a thing by deleting this one. The creator was blocked as a suspect sock puppet account. Online English mentions of Gladerberg refer to this Wikipedia page. — Maile (talk) 20:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
