No independent coverage in reliable sources that I can find. There's a saxophonist and several other people by the same name that show up in searches, though. The article originates in dewiki, but contains no sources there either. Jafeluv (talk) 08:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I've found these sources which do pertain to this person,, , , , , and added them to the article. The last 2 are from newspapers. Having said that, they are basically background biographies for upcoming concerts. I don't think this is enough to establish notability in the sense of a significant career or impact, but I could be wrong. Voceditenore (talk) 10:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There is also a review here, reprinted from the Schwäbische Zeitung. Reviews in the German press tend to be hard to find as they are often behind a paywall. - Voceditenore (talk) 12:38, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Neutral I would have said keep, but those sources are not spread throughout article with proper formatting. We wouldn't know they are in German because they are not properly formatted.   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:45, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Jafeluv has kindly formatted the references and linked them to the statement in the article. There's very little to "spread" since, apart from the list of records, the article consists of only one sentence. Voceditenore (talk) 10:33, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep In my opinion, the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO #1; the sources are reliable and independent, the article is expandable and verifiable. The information could be useful for people interested in the German jazz scene. Thanks to Voceditenore for the research. --Vejvančický (talk) 10:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep   The references are sufficient, and that they're in German does not make any difference.  DGG ( talk ) 05:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Voceditenore and DGG. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:11, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
