Henry Hübchen

An unnotable actor. If all actors had articles Wiki would be clogged. I went through the sources and chucked out IMDB, obviously. The NYTimes articles mentions his name, nothing else. Unless reliable sources actually discussing the subject of the article can be provided then I see no reason to have an article about Hubchen at Wiki.

 * I have found a source in German discussing Henry Hubchen: Bildstit (talk) 08:27, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It seems like Hubchen is only known for a 2004 film called Go for Zucker in English and nothing else of note. I don't think Wiki is the place for this kind of actor article. An obscure German film with an even more obscure actor. The sources are completely unusable... being unreliable or undiscernable because they are in German. The German Wiki may be the more appropriate place for this article, if at all.Bildstit (talk) 08:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The nominator has since been blocked as a likely sock of a banned user. This article is also about an actor who has won the german equivalent of an academy award. Move for speedy close as "Keep" since that award unambiguously crosses the WP:BIO threshold - "The person has received a notable award or honor."Bali ultimate (talk) 19:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep There is no rule that disallows foreign language sources. If you tried a machine translation of the German article with for example Google Translate you'd have found he is well-known for his role in the TV series Polizeiruf 110 appeared in the DEFA's first Indian (the teepee kind) film (and numerous others) and was two-times DDR (former East Germany) Windsurfing champion. His films even yielded him acting prizes: "Schauspieler des Jahres" (1994) (Actor of the Year) und dem "Berliner Theaterpreis" (2000) (Berlin Theathre Prize). Even without the names of the other films and tv series, what I mentioned is clearly enough to meet multiple criteria of WP:CREATIVE and WP:ATHLETE. - Mgm|(talk) 15:21, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep he won the german equivalent of the academy award, and has been praised internationally for that performance. Just after the nominator nommed this article, he removed cites to David Denby of The New Yorker, a review from the New York Times and a couple of other inline citations and replaced them with fact tags (compare my last version to his last . That's attrocious behavior. For what it's worth, i started this article.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
