 * Comment: I don't know where you looked. I looked at the German Wikipedia, and saw solid biographies for sources, and several notable awards. I don't know what kind of "works" you expect from an actor and stage director. His prime was well before the internet, so no wonder that there few online reviews. - I'm willing to expand the article, but won't have time before Monday. Help welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:26, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If you think that the sources are good enough to use you could transfer them over to the English Wikipedia article. Procyon117 (talk) 16:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Kindly read my comment to the end: yes, but I have no free time until Monday. You can begin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:05, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep I can’t see how notability is in question at all. The subject was accorded the highest civil honour by the Austria for services to the republic. Mccapra (talk) 17:46, 19 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. There is significant coverage in highly reliable German sources — Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung . There is article in Der Standard.
 * As was mentioned, he does have awards, see German wikipage. There are notable works. BilboBeggins (talk) 18:34, 19 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep: Taking the page about an obviously notable director to Afd the day after his death is wrong. And Prodding the page about one of his films (Was wäre, wenn...?) with no evidence of any basic BEFORE was wrong too (I deproDed it and expanded it). Nominator, please kindly withdraw. Just read the obituary in Die Zeit (https://www.zeit.de/kultur/2024-06/theaterdirektor-regisseur-gerhard-klingenberg). Thank you. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  19:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep The man was a star in the Deutscher Sprachraum. Just because we didn't hear much about him in the English-speaking world, that doesn't make him unnotable. Oh, and by the way, I'll see what I can do to improve the article. Kelisi (talk) 20:23, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
