I don't think this has the notability to warrant an article. This guy certainly exists, but he has a very marginal documented effect on what are clearly a notable band. If anything, he could have a couple of (sourced) lines in Weezer (e.g. "...around this time, the band hired Karl Koch12 to act as their webmaster&mdash;he would later go on to direct such-and-such music video13 and play keyboards at this live date.14") —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I have been unable to locate significant reliable source coverage to to establish notability. Some of the difficulty  in locating it may come from fact that there is a German hacker with the same name that turns up for most topic specific searches around technology/webpages/etc.  I also tried music based searches though and had similar difficulty locating THIS Karl Koch.
