-Support. There was also a German Workers' Party in Austria-Hungary, German Workers' Party (Austria-Hungary). Maximilian II 21:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I would propose turning this into a dismabig page linking to the Austrian party and the NSDAP and merging the content into the latter. After all, it is one an the same party, not just a predecessor. Str1977 (smile back) 23:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- The NSDAP article is already quite large, so maybe the opposite should happen, move non-essential DAP material from within the NSDAP article into this article? Maximilian II 05:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
It appears to me that this article is the primary topic, is that correct? If so, I oppose the move per disambiguation naming guidelines: "When there is a well known primary meaning for a term or phrase, much more used than any other [...] then that topic may be used for the title of the main article, with a disambiguation link at the top." A German Workers' Party (disambiguation) page can be created if/when there are more than two potentially ambiguous articles. --Muchness 01:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose. There's no need for a disambiguation page when there's only two pages. And since I'd imagine the majority of Wikipedians would assume the same as I would, i.e. that the "German Workers' Party" is a Germany party, I don't think we need to disambiguate further. The current setup, using the {{For}} template at the top of the article, seems the most straightforward solution to me. --DeLarge 16:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. --Stemonitis 16:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Founded by von Sebottendorff in 1918
According to the Rudolf von Sebottendorf article, the party was founded by him in 1918. Consequently, one or the other is wrong. __meco (talk) 12:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
