Subject of the article fails WP:BIO. No significant coverage in independent, reliable publications. No major awards. Nothing noted that is new or significant about his works and they are not part of any permanent collections. Nv8200p talk 14:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Yes, delete per nom. --Malcolmxl5 14:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment A quick google search shows that this subject could have significant coverage in the German language. --Siva1979Talk to me 15:12, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep By 'no reliable publications', I think you meant to say google. Nonetheless, I'm going to go with keep because if there may be significant coverage in another language, that should be explored before making the decision to delete. Spazure 08:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
"May" and "could" don't cut it. Without verifiable sources (which means English for this Wikipedia), notability cannot be affirmed. -Nv8200p talk 11:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I think may and could do need to be considered given that an editor conversant in German would be able to explore the sources. There are many articles that are not sourced in any language and are given a chance to improve. --Stormbay 22:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - The German page[1] has a quote from the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung (which is admittedly his hometown (Heidelberg) paper, but it circulates 100k) which is pretty positive. Smmurphy(Talk) 00:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't see anything at all notable about this artist. No stature has been claimed for him, no major awards, no high-priced sales, no public controversies, nothing. I think it would be a conservative estimate to state that there are at least ten million artisans throughout the world who are working on his level. He plays with shadow and light? If that's the most that can be claimed for his notability, give me a break. All of the world's amateur artists from the age of 99 all the way down to toddlers with their fingerpaints can be said to be doing that much! Qworty 08:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
