Please could you share some of this coverage on the web with us? Thanks Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This page is deserved to keep, a lot of evidence can prove the surname is real, thank you. --Lord Djibril (talk) 3:09, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I have no doubts that the surname is real. Have you got any evidence that it has received extensive coverage? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information WP:NOT. If there is a notable person with the surname of Groht then by all means, write the article on them, include sources and it should stay. A surname is not notable because of the name but who has the name and that is where the notability should lie, with the individual person. If you get enough articles written about persons with the Groht surname then you could, theoretically, create a category for this name and link all of them together. It does not deserve a stand-a-lone article. --ARose Wolf 17:07, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete just existing does not make a surname notable. There are no sources to verrify anything, and verrifiability is the key to Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:08, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser note: Werstone, Lord Djibril, and Everstonerelm are confirmed sockpuppets of each other. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lord Djibril. Mz7 (talk) 04:20, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We have no article on the photographer (if we did, ((R from surname)) would be appropriate), and the article about the anime doesn't mention the name. Four articles in enwiki cite Johannes Groht, but none is a suitable redirect target. We have no mention of de:Silke Groht. Narky Blert (talk) 07:38, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
