The only sources are primary sources, and a search doesn't pull up much for him online. I don't see notability here personally.

There may be a copyright violation here as well, but I can't figure out based on the dates (this article dates back to feb. 2007, and the first version includes the offending text; the archive of the source page (his about page) is only from 2015, but the main page of his website dates back to sept. 2007 with an archive from then. I'm not sure exactly how to clean this up, but I planned on bringing it to AfD either way. (Earwig) Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  04:03, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

 * FWIW, there is no entry into the German Wikipedia about this person. He seems however to be part of lots of other acts here and there. Erdpferd (talk) 10:29, 14 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. It would be very strange for someone to copy their own website text from wikipedia, so I think the balance of probabilities here is that this is copyvio. Happy to look at a WP:THREE as always - I am finding a lot of passing mentions, or things like this that you can't really call a "passing mention" but isn't WP:SIGCOV by any stretch of the imagination. Nothing I would use to argue for a Keep with though. -- asilvering (talk) 17:57, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete not enough secondary sources to pass GNG (in that there really are not any). Is it possible the subject or an agent of the subject created both this Wikipedia article and the website at the same time? Which would be even stronger arguments to delete, but it they chose to publish in multiple venues there would not be a copyright issue.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:32, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
