This guy does not meet notability criteria. No English language sources refer to him. No reliable source in any language say anything about him as a person; he is only marginally mentioned as a football player. That's why the article consists of an infobox and one sentence. Per WP:ATHLETE, this article shouldn't exist. The article is unreferenced, even though it is a biography of a living person. Curiously enough, he lives about ten metres away from me and I was shocked when I saw an article about him on Wikipedia. Surtsicna (talk) 16:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has played for his national team and in the UEFA Cup, both levels that are generally accepted to confer notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:35, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - He is notable as a football player, appearing twice in FIFA "A" internationals and playing three seasons in the fully-pro German second division. I've added a few references that show the article passes WP:ATHLETE, and I suspect it will pass WP:GNG with a little work. Jogurney (talk) 02:09, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - With appearances in the 2. Bundesliga and for his country, this player very clearly passes WP:ATHLETE. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:09, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - obvious notability that a quick Google search (or a pop down the road to chat with the guy!) would have shown. GiantSnowman 22:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - per ATHLETE, played 2.Bundesliga and a couple of international appearances, referenced. note: this suggests he only played 45 (9) for Oberhausen, not the 108 (23) per article. -- Club Oranje T 09:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think transfermarkt.de is a reliable source. Kicker.de and fussballdaten.de support the 108 (23) figures. Jogurney (talk) 14:46, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
