I declined this speedy due to a credible assertion of significance, but this bio fails the WP:GNG. causa sui (talk) 22:02, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator unless better evidence of significant third-party coverage can be found. --causa sui (talk) 22:03, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep(I disclose that I am the author of the article) I do not believe the article fails the notability criteria,which are satisfied by the coverage of the subject personally in e.g. the Wall Street Journal, as cited.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Videsutaltastet (talk • contribs) 09:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the good faith disclosure. You may well turn out to be right. Is the WSJ article printed online anywhere, to your knowledge? --causa sui (talk) 17:06, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * -The WSJ article can be found here: http://tba.co.il/pipermail/musings_tba.co.il/2006-March/000264.html --Kolokol1 (talk) 19:06, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * (author of the article)There are actually quite a few WSJ and Dow Jones articles on the case online, but unfortunately behind the paywall. I have added some more references to international media coverage, a legal database and, in one case, the text of a court judgement. I don't know the etiquette, but might we say that we have reached a consensus that the article can stay? A novice wikipedian would be grateful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Videsutaltastet (talk • contribs) 14:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The subject has two Russian sources and one Turkish source that support notability and the article's potential growth (these are translated to English):
 * Sedelmayer, Franz at Lenta.ru
 * Franz Sedelmayer at Peoples.ru
 * TurkRus article
 * You can find even more if you look for his name in Russian (Франц Зедельмайер). I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 16:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep As the list of references clearly shows, the subject has been covered in the mainstream world media including the Wall street Journal (http://tba.co.il/pipermail/musings_tba.co.il/2006-March/000264.html), and has been cited as a landmark legal case in the professional law community (http://lazareff-lebars.com/blog-en/?p=153 http://robertamsterdam.com/2008/03/russian_property_seized_for_auction_in_germany/). In addition, It is a part of the official diplomatic record (http://www.mid.ru/brp_4.nsf/0/DD2145A87B572045C32578C6005B2CED). What other evidence of notability is needed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kolokol1 (talk • contribs) 07:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. A notable person described in numerous 3rd party RS, as one can see from the list of references.Biophys (talk) 19:54, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
