Not notable, not reliably referenced. Party official (head of arbitration committee) of a party that hovers below 2% in Germany. Lots of Ghits but most of it published by his party. I cannot really say what the status of The European is - looks like an online newspaper but at least Wikipedia hasn't heard of it, and neither have I. Pgallert (talk) 14:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Online non-news current affairs periodical: de:The European - took its title from an English-language weekly launched in the 90s, which is why the name seemed familiar to me. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:49, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I see nothing indicating notability. The article could do a better job of presenting the case for inclusion - for example I infer that "ACTA coordinator" refers to Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, it would be nice to have an explanatory link, and the biographical sketch in The European is the best source, but is used only for his place of residence and not characterized in the footnote - but he appears to be a relatively minor functionary in the party. He is not mentioned on de.wikipedia, including in their longer article on the Pirate Party, where they do have a couple of German party functionaries redlinked. I don't think he would meet notability as a politician even if he were with a larger party, and that is the issue, since notability is not inherited. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:56, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete He will soon be a member of Pirate Party Deleted. Can't see how a minor official in a very minor party is notable without significant additional coverage VASterling (talk) 19:19, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
