 * Delete Notability not really even asserted. He was the president of a football team for 8 years back in the 1920s and 1930s. I know that sports figures get some kind of automatic notability, but I don't think we have to import minor ones from outside the English-speaking world. The one notable fact, his presidency, should already be in the article on the club. Borock (talk) 01:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

 * comment the fact that he was German (and hence sources may be in German) has no bearing on whether it is encyclopedic or not. Anglophone-centricism is not policy.  I say nominate the German language version for deletion at their AFD, and if that goes, this one should too. Barney the barney barney (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not saying he wasn't an important person. But he doesn't seem to meet WP's general standards of notability. He might meet some special standard for sports figures, but that doesn't compel us to have an article on him. Nor does the fact that German WP has one. I don't think they have to have one on every NFL and MLB team president just because we do.  Besides that the readers don't need an article just to tell them he held that job, the presidents can just be listed on the team article. Borock (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
