Unreferenced since 2009. My BEFORE in English and German ("Fritz Reuter Literature Archive") in GS and GB yields nothing. De wiki article has a few refs but they are not easy for me to verify, and the notability of this archive is unclear. I would not be surprised if someone could rescue this, but well, this has been unreferenced for 15 years. Maybe this AfD will motivate someone to help? Otherwise, sorry, WP:V is clearly failed, and WP:GNG is not obvious. For all we know this can be some variant of Zhemao hoaxes. Ping User:Bearian who few days asked for this to be sourced or deleted at WT:GERMANY (nobody replied there so far...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:35, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: subject does exist; apparently it was a private collection of Fritz Reuter related stuff by Hans-Joachim Griephan, and was merged into the Fritz Reuter Literaturmuseum in 2024. Some coverage about the merger in Nordkurier. I can't say how in-depth the offline sources at the German-language wiki article go, but with online sources gng wouldn't be passed.

• Comment: I agree with Nyamo Kurosawa's observations. Additionally while the Fritz Reuter Literary Archive should be removed for lack of sources, it appears the Fritz Reuter Literature Museum does not lack sources and would be a good candidate for a Wikipedia article.
