 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously deleted as a copyvio of http://andreasklamm.wordpress.com/about/ but the formatting makes me think it's equally likely the wordpress page was copied from the Wikipedia article (or, of course, from the author's hard drive) to ensure it stays visible. Or whatever...you know what I mean. Anyway, with that aside, I can't find anything reliable to verify his notability; the article makes plenty of claims, but most of them are from the same or similar sources. Seems to be just an exercise in self-promotion. Closedmouth (talk) 12:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Question: Is Reduce to stub a valid verdict? Because if all narcissist content were to be removed from the article that is what would remain. Not sure about notability, though, as long as he is director of a radio station (equally fishy, created by same COI editor, could maybe be co-nominated). P.S.: Just reinstated the AfD template on the page. --Pgallert (talk) 11:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You don't have to vote for that, if you think it would improve the article, just do it. --Closedmouth (talk) 12:55, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Would be a larger task, I have offered help in this regard on the talk page. Without the original authors consent it smells too much of possible drama. Also, the notability issue would have to be sorted out first. --Pgallert (talk) 12:32, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. That is one bizar article, thousands of words and not a single reliable reference. Or book--unless we start counting Books on Demand as a major publisher. There's plenty of hits for the name on Google News! But they're all press releases (almost all from pressemitteilung.ws), even if some of them at first glance don't look like it, such as this one. I'd love to go through and start chopping, but it's too much, and I have faith in the AfD process. Drmies (talk) 21:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete incredibly detailed article but nothing to really demonstrate how he is notable in a third party source. -Falcon8765 (talk) 07:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as spam. I wouldn't call it detailed either, just long, rambling and promotional. This article was created by and pretty much the only contributor is an account associated with the radio network.  Wikipedia is not a webhost for this company nor is it a vehicle for promoting their shows.--RadioFan (talk) 17:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - autobio spam and ranting WP:SOAPBOX violations. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  18:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
