 * Keep. Article on de wiki seems referenced; it would be nice if the en translation could be verified and referenced as well. Unfortunately all the sources I can find are in German (which I don't read). PS. The article was created by me in 2006 with a comment "stub translated from de wiki (by a friend)". At this point I have no idea who that friend was :( --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 06:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – there's enough literature about him out there, as evidenced by google books (including at least one full monograph, though that one's from 1942 and might not be entirely reliable); unfortunately none of the books listed on google have readable previews, but it's clear there's substantial coverage. BTW, the item cited on the de-wiki article is unfortunately only a historical novel. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:22, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Google Books search linked above shows that there is a street in Augsburg named after the subject, which, although not in itself conferring notability, gives a good indication that there are likely to be sources. That is confirmed by a search designed to eliminate the street from the results, which shows that there is coverage of the subject in many books about the history of aviation.

 * Keep on the basis of the refs found. The nom could have found and added them too, per WP:BEFORE, and saved the trouble of an AfD. They should have been added by the author, but if not ist is secondarily the responsibility of anyone who sees the article.    DGG ( talk ) 04:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
