This article appears to fail the notability guidelines. Being an amateur astronomer is non-notable and having an asteroid named after you is insufficient unless there is demonstrable significant impact in independent sources. Everything in this article exists in 185638 Erwinschwab so a re-direct may be appropriate. Fæ (talk) 06:36, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Local news coverage in German, which was buried in the external links. I've added some info from those sources (and a reference to his giving a public lecture at his job) and referenced the article more clearly and thoroughly. There are a number of others with the same name, complicating search, but there are 2 newspaper articles about him; I'd feel happier if someone can find one more, but in my judgment that enables him to squeak by as notable. I suspect the article creator was nervous about using foreign-lang articles as references, but they are permissible.Yngvadottir (talk) 18:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
