Fails WP:NEVENT. And GNG. I can't find any mention of this after the immediate day of discovery, I assume they were convicted but if they did it seems to have never been reported? Searching is hampered by the lack of detail in every article on this I can find. Does not have dewiki article, which is not a guarantee but they tend to have lower standards for inclusion especially for topics relevant to German-speaking countries.

Keep It was discussed again by large German news organizations in 2016:

And here is an article referencing it again in 2019: https://www.fr.de/politik/rechtsextreme-wegen-geplanter-anschlaege-angeklagt-11094449.html

It was also the subject of a "Kleine Anfrage" in the German Bundestag: https://www.bundestag.de/webarchiv/presse/hib/201607/436118-436118

As a result of the event, the German Ministry of the Interior banned the group in 2016: https://www.bundesanzeiger.de/pub/publication/5C6lHQiksjoTRNdcTuA?0

It doesn't have a dedicated German article, but it is discussed on this German Wikipedia page: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weisse_Wölfe (scroll down to "Verbot von „Weisse Wölfe Terrorcrew", and sorry that I don't know how to link to the German Wiki directly).

I don't know NP:EVENT well, but the combination of coverage plus a follow on event (the Ministry of the Interior banning the group because of its threat to the constitution) suggests to me that it passes. a bunch of penguins (talk) 06:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(By the way, have you noticed that Google news searches have gotten really bad lately? For many different topics, it now no longer returns articles that I know exist - and can find by going to the news site directly and searching there). a bunch of penguins (talk) 06:53, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that at least answers the question of what happened (thank you for that). I don't find this coverage very notability convincing when it comes to the event but the group is probably notable. I can withdraw this and I or someone else can convert it into an article on "Weisse Wölfe Terrorcrew". PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:29, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
