This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because... I am writing this article RIGHT NOW - i am adding sources RIGHT NOW. Please take 15 seconds to google the term before you add speedy deletion tag! --Imaginelenin (talk) 14:30, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I did allow to myself more than 15 seconds to search and found that "Good Germans" is more a dictionary term, but not a subject for an article. There is no significant research for this as a group. You, from other side, removed tag from article created by yourself as well as started to bombard me with accusations instead of initiating a discussion.

Half of the references are talking about "Good Germans" as those who opposed Nazi regime and half as those who did nothing. The article is talking only about those who did nothing. As I mentioned already, I was quite fast in making it CSD, and I'd like to apologize for that. But, I am positive that article needs major rework in order to describe such an broad and uneasy subject. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 15:44, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
