This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Gustav Wegert (1890–1959) is suggested to be the man appearing in a 1936 photograph, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, conspicuously refusing to perform the Nazi salute.
Wegert was a metalworker at Blohm+Voss who was known to habitually refuse to perform the Nazi salute. Wegerts family have presented documentation of Wegert's employment at Blohm+Voss at that time as evidence. As well as family photographs that better resemble the man in the photograph from 1936, which advocates stronger for the man to be Gustav Wegert[1]
(However, the identity of the man in the photograph is not known with certainty. Another family claims that the man is August Landmesser (1910–1944). Landmesser had run afoul of the Nazi Party over his unlawful relationship with Irma Eckler, a Jewish woman. For this, he was imprisoned and eventually drafted into penal military service, where he was killed in action. Years after his death, his daughter suggested that he was the man in the famous photograph.)
