Very likely autobiography by Tintenfisch (talk · contribs), who also created the German version of this article. Notability is doubtful. bender235 (talk) 00:00, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep My nonexistent German (i.e. Gtranslate) says that [1] this is a real review of his work in Der Spiegel, giving him some claim to WP:CREATIVE. The article needs massive cleanup, and a single review is a weak claim to notability indeed; I suspect there may be more hiding in the Gnews results. Ray^Talk 15:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - There appears to be some minimal coverage of Dreher in media. It's a very borderline case, but I think this one falls on the side of being notable. —SW— ^yak 15:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He's won one prize (notable enough for us to have an article on), documented in Der Spiegel, there are at least 2 articles there entirely about a TV series he made, and he gets mentioned in several books and on scads of blogs. Some of the coverage is for hanging out with or making vids about famous musicians, but some of it is rating his work as important documentation of popular music movements. I've added the best to the article (translating one quotation), recast the lede (he really doesn't seem to write much except scripts), and tidied it up. I also note that his TV work has often been commissioned by the networks or channel in question, even more than indicated in the listing, and that is also a sign of notability. --Yngvadottir (talk) 20:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
