 * Keep - Notable German cameraman on over 100 films. See German film encyclopedia entry here. --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 20:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a good site to know... Zzaffuto118 (talk) 21:05, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, being a cameramen is not notable, by doing a quick google search shows that he has not done anything to allow him to qualify for an article. Gsingh (talk) 23:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Note that the subject is also a director of photography, and the sources I have added to the article listed below in my !vote. Northamerica1000 (talk) 06:41, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The article now appears to have enough references, and User:Northamerica1000 has made the article notable for inclusion. I am withdrawing my vote. Gsingh (talk) 00:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Mondi was a camera-person and a director of photography, and appears to have achieved notability, meeting WP:GNG. This article would benefit from improvements, per WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM, rather than deletion. The article could use more sourcing and inline citations. Here are sources currently in the article, the second and third ones I recently added:

 * Keep per WP:NTEMP. We have a cinematographer whose verifiable career follows right alongside the very birth and growth of the German film industry... working from 1921 through 1965... beginning in Weimar Republic, surviving the Third Reich's Nazi Germany, and continuing after WWII in the then East Germany. His winning a major award as a cinematographer at the 1951 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (then under a Communist regime) is also a consideration. User:Northamerica1000's work is laudable in showing this man as making it into the enduring historical record. Books are what we have and can accept... specially considering the difficulties faced in finding harcopy news sources from the Weimar, Reich, and East German periods of German cinematic history.

 * Keep. Per NA and Schmidt.--Epeefleche (talk) 12:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. This nom lacks of WP:BEFORE, as it claims that there are "no sources" and just considering Google Books the subject has 2440 entries. - Cavarrone (talk) 13:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 'Keep Reliable sources have been found covering this person. Others make some good points also.   D r e a m Focus  22:35, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
