BLP of an Austrian football referee, unimproved since tagging for notability three months ago. Between the unsourced sections there is a lot of routine coverage in match reports and primary sources with nothing to support notability. Mccapra (talk) 04:31, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The article on de.wiki is well-founded, with some sources archived in the Wayback Machine. Needs improvements, but passes WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 16:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Specific assessment of the available sources would probably be helpful.

Comment the de.wiki article isn’t well-founded at all. It has essentially the same refs as the en.wiki article - dead links to various things that don’t look like RIS, online databases of match reports that just list players and results with a name check for the referee. The only two reasonably substantive sources on de.wiki are (a) the same as source 12 on en.wiki (a short paragraph citing him) and (b) de.wiki source 3 which is a profile of him which is a blog post from the head ref welcoming him and thanking him. That is definitely not enough to build a biography article on. There is a complete lack of in-depth coverage in independent sources. Mccapra (talk) 13:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
