A low ranking SS soldier accused of misappropriating funds is not my idea of notable. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:31, 30 June 2011 (UTC)


 * This is an interesting nomination. I was fully prepared to recommend keeping this article, and dug around for awhile on Google Books and Google Scholar, trying to find a reason to do so. There just isn't one there. This person was--as the nominator notes--nothing more than "a low-ranking SS soldier accused of misappropriating funds." If he were still alive, WP:BLP1E would apply. And, in fact, it rather does, since we do not have any confirmation of his death, other than the fact that he would be 107-108 years old, if he is still living. In other words, my recommendation is that this article be deleted. LHM 03:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, sounds like a minor criminal that really hasn't gotten any interest from reliable sources. Nyttend (talk) 03:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

 * delete barring secret Argentinian life-extension technology BLP probably doesn't apply. But he just doesn't seem notable beyond one incident, and BLP:1E is just an extension of WP:NOTNEWS to living persons, which in and of itself is a special case of WP:N for news events.

 * Delete - subject appears to lack "significant coverage" in reliable sources and as such is likely not notable under the WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 09:41, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I thought he was interesting. His name turns up in several books. I didn't think to cite them all (laborious trips back to the University libray etc. !). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdullah@xtra.co.nz (talk • contribs) 12:27, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
