Iffy verifiability and notability-- when I attempt to find more sources on this figure, such as Google News archives for the 19th century, I get many Sebastian Seilers -- some German, some leftist leaders, but with ages and year of death different from the particular Sebastian Seiler the article speaks of. How do we know this guy isn't a hoax? elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (be free) 19:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We know that the guy isn't a hoax by reading the sources referenced in the article. If those aren't enough for you then check these out. I already pointed out when I contested WP:PROD deletion that the existence of namesakes is not a reason for deletion, but the nominator doesn't appear to have understood that simple fact.

Keep. External links section now includes links to some of his work in German and Dutch, info from German National Library confirms he was active in 1840s, WP:NRVE.

Keep Plenty of sources to confirm notability. Edward321 (talk) 02:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination withdrawn. At the time of nomination there were only two sources to speak of, and their diversity was questionable. elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (be free) 17:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
