The article fails WP:BIO (it might have passed if the significance of U-439 was noted). Also, the article has been tagged since August 2006 for not stating the notability of the subject, but hasn't received any non-technical edits (i.e., the notability tag and a bot edit) since July 7, 2006, and seems unlikely to be expanded.

 * Delete Article provides no indication of notability or historical importance of this person. Agent 86 01:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Only notibility is his rank, of which many thousands of people had. Collided with another friendly ship in an unnotable accident. Neither ship appears to have been used in any noteable attacks.--155.144.251.120 02:53, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * "Delete" U-439 could be notable because it did not loose any personnel during her first patrols which, contrary to the myth, was quite uncommon but that does not automatically include the skipper Alf photoman 16:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no importance asserted distinguishing him from other Nazi officers of his rank. --Dhartung | Talk 20:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete no assertion of notability, I think it qualifies for speedy deletion under A7 (I'm quoting the section of the speedy deletion guidelines from memory, so that might be off) JCO312 23:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
