The result was Keep. Nom rightly drew attention to lack of verification. This has been addressed sufficiently to merit retention of the article, but I note and agree with observations that sourcing could still be improved and would benefit from translations into English and sources in English.

Notability in question; multiple, non trivial sources needed to establish notability Bus stop 14:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep , the problems with WP:V are more pressing than those with WP:N. Fasching is indeed a known Austrian sculptor and if the article survives this AfD it should be tagged as lacking sources. The Diva Award on the other hand is a little iffy, it is presented by a consulting firm, and from what I gather from their own rules it is more a publicity gimmick than a serious sign of notability Alf^Photoman 23:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep for now I've added a couple more sources (in German), including a pic and brief description of his Vienna Mirror in what seems to be a serious art magazine. I'm still unsure of his "100-year"/permanent notability though. More sources would be good, and a bit of translation would be very handy! --Mereda 09:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - clearly notable, just needs more sources --J2thawiki 09:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I've added an English speaking source reffering to several of his works, including a lot of pictures and a link to a long list of secondary literature and TV appearances of his projects--Moerd 10:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
