Poorly sourced WP:BLP article with completely unsourced negative information. -- Cirt (talk) 13:46, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Most English sources may mirror the unsourced bio here--so delete unless someone can come up with reliable sources confirming notability. Jonathanwallace (talk) 14:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It could be sourced as there is a degree of coverage. And he uses the Dagobert name on his website. John lilburne (talk) 14:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - notability is not an issue; the German-language article has numerous reference which demonstrate this. It just needs some minor corrections, and the addition of either those references, or some English-language equivalents.  I've added a reference from a major German newspaper for the basic facts.

 * comment - it needs some more sourcing adding to the article - I see Warofdreams has added a good one specifically about him - and if kept I think it should be moved to something like - Dagobert the department bomber. He appears to have been something of a folk hero in Germany. Another option is, if there is an article about such people somewhere the content might sit better as a section in an article than having its own. Off2riorob (talk) 14:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'd go thatta way as he seems to use the notoriety of criminal activity as promotional material for his current activities. So presumably one would want to make sure that WP isn't being used as a publicity source, so a general article on criminal folk heroes would be a better place.

 * Keep - I have to agree with the above mentioned reasons. This is not a matter of notability. Its a matter of better sourcing and a bit of a rewrite.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - poorly sourced article, but enough sources exist to demonstrate that he passes the notability test. Robofish (talk) 23:00, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
