While the subject appears to have a claim to notability, none of the content can be cleaned-up nor can any of the content be verified due to the original article being written in broken English (mixed in German words). After attempting to clean the document twice, I have come to the conclusion that it cannot be salvaged without being forced to guess as to the actual meaning. Google searches did not yield enough information to correct factual inaccuracies nor validate existing facts. In the simplest terms, delete per Verifiability and Unreadable/Unusable content Kershner 22:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. While the article is poorly translated, this person appears to be well more notable than the average professor, having been president of the Austrian Academy for Science, and Federal Minister for Science and Research in the Austrian government. Maybe these positions are less notable than they sound, but it is verifiable that he held them. He also turns up at least 46 times in a Google scholar search in contexts consistent with the article. --Metropolitan90 05:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I do not doubt that the subject is notable, only that the article cannot be salvaged from it's current state without a complete rewrite, and that in it's current state it is patent nonsense. Thus a delete is better than the inclusion of nonsense and the article has had time to be fixed.  Kershner 05:37, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, of course it's salvageable, it just needs to be translated better. Slap a RoughTranslation on it. Angr (talk) 06:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Per WP:HEY, should a concerted effort to cleanup the article be performed, I will withdraw my AfD and support a Keep position. Kershner 06:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't know about a "concerted effort", but I just did some minor cleanup. Now at least there are no more German words in it, except Habilitation, which doesn't have an English translation and which is explained in its own article. Angr (talk) 06:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Austrian gov't minister. Notable. ~ trialsanderrors 06:57, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. What this article needs is cleanup, not deletion. I think presidency of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and being a cabinet minister in his country's government are certainly notable enough. Agent 86 08:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Austrian government minister is notable! --Stone 07:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
