 * Weak delete. The sources don't look impressive, but a German-speaker is probably more suited then me to comment here. Ping me if there are mores sources for discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:COIEDIT, editors are strongly discouraged from writing their own Wikipedia articles, and no conflict of interest was disclosed for this one. Taking it on its own merits, it reads like a resume but does not give evidence of notability.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:35, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Translators can be notable, but, the simple fact of having translated a number of graphic novels ≠ notability. To establish notability we need WP:SIGCOV in SECONDARY sources that say what a notable translator he is.  All taht we seem tohave here is verification that he has translated stuff.  If anyone finds SIGCOV of him as a translator (profiles, praise of his workby literary critics, or similar,) ping me to revisit. I am always willing to change an opinion when shown evidence.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:18, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The article has enough info and some of the sources are also good enough to pass WP:GNGCamron6598 (talk) 19:34, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Can you mention 2 or 3 such sources?E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:43, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The first two sources are local (district/county-level) news. And while Die Welt is a major newspaper, he is only trivially mentioned on a web-only supplement, through a list of thirty freely downloadable games. The other sources are also primary sources and/or trivial mentions. So I don't see WP:GNG. Don Cuan (talk) 12:13, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was my analysis, too. And my searches find nothing better.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:09, 31 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination since subject fails WP:GNG. Perhaps a vainity project, perhaps a promotional text. Either way, it has no place here. -The Gnome (talk) 09:42, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
