I tried everything—from searching in English, German, and my University database—but I could not find other significant pieces of coverage. Serial killers are not inherently notable and nothing else can suggest this individual meets GNG. I give some leeway for older subjects but a single source not specifically on the person falls short in my opinion. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:41, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

The single reference mentioned by the TheGracefulSlick a summary of older sources in a local paper. But there is more than just local interest. Agathoclea (talk) 18:40, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

• Keep and leave tag for sourcing in place. serial killer from 500 years ago comes complete with tourist cave where he allegedly murdered people, medieval painting of him being drawn and quartered on pinterest [1] and medieval drawing of him being drawn and quartered [2] on wikivisually. Can't delete the fact that we are a gory species.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:22, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
• Keep. I realize, "it's interesting" isn't really a good reason to keep, but this article is. References may be harder to find secondary to age, and the article appears to have been roughly translated, but I think time will improve it. Ifnord (talk) 12:04, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
