Not notable. Sounds like main thing he ever did, was make a catalog in a library (lol). He also was a "Judge" for the Nazis, but if that makes him notable, don't we need sources on it? I can't tell whether the article has any real sources or not. MayVenn (talk) 02:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• He must have significant coverage in the main source cited, which says that he did important research on bird distributions. He received the Federal Cross of Merit first class, which should establish his notability, per WP:ANYBIO. The nominator seems to be trying to prove a point. —innotata 06:09, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep, meets WP:ANYBIO and very likely WP:GNG, part of a retaliatory mass nomination against another editor. Cavarrone 08:25, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep; Clear keep--his works are more completely listed in the German version. DGG ( talk ) 08:31, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Federal Cross of Merit alone is sufficient to meet basic biographical notability. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep a well-known ornithologist with 240 publications on the distribution and biology of birds, particularly those of south-western Germany.
