Keep Sources will be difficult to find, but I think we need to err on the side of inclusiveness when dealing with historical subjects. There appears to be one usuable French source on the Rudolf Franz Lehnert page that deals with both Landrock and Lehnert. I think that in itself provides evidence of notability. freshacconci talktalk 15:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've often found these essays by Tyrenius, User:Tyrenius/Historical systemic bias and User:Tyrenius/Historical artists useful when dealing with topics such as these, as both outline some excellent points when faced with a lack of sources on historical figures. freshacconci talktalk 15:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 22,200 ghits for "Lehnert & Landrock" [1] is enough for me, with plenty like this [2] from which both varticles could be improved. A merge might be an idea though. Johnbod (talk) 20:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A Google Books search finds loads of sources, such as this one published by a major academic publisher that describes the subject as one of the two leading photographers of North Africa in the early 20th century. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
