Certainly not notable enough. The press coverage is mostly about his company going bankrupt, the corresponding article in the German Wikipedia has been deleted meanwhile because of lack of notability. --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 20:16, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There seems to be fairly reputable third party coverage per WP:NOTABILITY. If the German Wikipedia article was non-notable, I could be convinced this one is if I saw reasons why the articles listed aren't WP:RS. Empamazing (talk) 17:09, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The sources themselves may be reliable, but what do they say? E.G. the NZZ article: "Riebe, 38 Jahre alt, operiert von einem Altbau-Geschäftshaus in Sichtnähe zur Bahnhofstrasse aus. 26 Leute arbeiten für ihn. Er selbst logiert im obersten Stock": "Riebe, 38 years old, works in an old business building in sight of Bahnhofstrasse. He employs 26 people. He himself lodges in the top floor." So what? --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 16:08, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• probably Delete. The German WP usually has it right about notability about people in German speaking countries. I would need very strong evidence not to accept their greater expertise. But I find it difficult to really decide this without some information on the significance of his company. DGG ( talk ) 22:52, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as I meant to comment earlier, Delete as none of this suggests the necessary solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 01:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Noting that User:Empamazing has been blocked for sockpuppetry. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:17, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
