Originally tagged ((Db-band)) with comment note that there is a German wiki article at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigi_Schwab, while my German is not very good, I am not seeing anything to support him as notable in English. A google search did not lead to anything worth using as a reference but did bring back a number of hits. diff The speedy was declined. Additionally this very short article has been unreferenced since Dec 2005 so fails WP:V, I searched for and did not find references to support the article but did find selling sites Jeepday (talk) 14:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as non-notable musician lacking reliable English sources. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 04:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:BAND pending sources (which need not be in English). The de: article indicates some local notability in Germany and one CD released by a major label, so if sourced he could probably make it. Sandstein 06:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Google News Archive search shows a reasonable number of sources for anyone interested in expanding the article. [1] Furthermore there is no such thing as "Notability in English". There is notability period, and if you have it, then you've got it, regardless of whether the sources noting you are in English, German, or Swahili. cab 09:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Sorry I was not clear, I was speaking of reference that are in English so I can evaluate them in context to Wikipedia content criteria like WP:BIO "The person has been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." of the 28 returns on the link provided by User:cab, the several in English are all Muze entries on Mywire.com and are about Chris Hinze and mention that he was once "in a duo with guitarist Sigi Schwab" while this hints at potential notability it does not meet the requirements of WP:BIO or WP:V and does not provide "sources for anyone interested in expanding the article" Jeepday (talk) 18:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• There is no requirement that sources be in English. You are basically saying "delete because I lack the required background knowledge to comprehend the sources." If you made this argument on a math or science-related AfD, do you think people would be convinced? cab 22:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete no sources. Arbustoo 18:51, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Could probably be the subject of a perfectly fine article if it is written based on the available German sources. Pharamond 19:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, there is no restriction on the language of sources. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• References Added Please note that user:CaliforniaAliBaba has added references the article. [2] Jeepday (talk) 02:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Notable enough. Adrian M. H. 21:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It would be nice if someone more knowledgeable could expand it but as it stands it is a perfectly acceptable stub. Nuttah68 21:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Meets WP:MUSIC with the newly added sources. Paxse 22:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
