Delete due to a fundamental lack of in-depth, third-party coverage. There are a few claims of notability but they are impossible to verify. For instance, it is claimed that the short story Paul & Josh - Katze zum Mitnehmen was at a some point in the top 5 in Amazon.de's youth book charts but all we can see now is its current ranking of 132.298th. I should note that articles about Sasha Kniel have been deleted five times on de.wiki. [1] Pichpich (talk) 21:07, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was unsuccessful in finding verifiable information from reliable sources. I searched WorldCat and found one entry on the "search for the Medallion story". It is available in two libraries, which by no means denotes notability. Subject does not meet the WP:GNG. The five articles on de.W seem to have been speedily deleted 5x. IMHO, if the Germans could not find ~~notability~~ siginificance in subject's mother tongue, we will not either, though I did try. Dloh cierekim 15:43, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
