Not an attack page?

So I looked up some information on this guy, and ran across a sourced article about him at the German Wikipedia; he seems to be a real guy. This is the German Wikipedia article, and this is the translated page. Perhaps we can source the article, and/or determine if he is notable enough to have an article? -- Natalya 23:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Sources

Here are the sources the German Wikipedia article used - in English!

Negative BLP; notability is not an issue

Yo, speedy nominator here. The article is an unsourced, highly negative BLP and is deletable on those grounds alone. If you think that there are sources to verify the info in the article, by all means go ahead and add it but please don't leave anything negative unsourced. Thanks, Skomorokh 23:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, not living, and sources have been added. Drama averted. Skomorokh 23:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Additions to the article

I added details to this article that was located in the existing sources and added a few more. I was able to get thru about 3-4 for them so please feel free to continue to look thru them to add more details to flesh out the article. There are huge discrepancies regarding the age of the victims across reliable sources. I rearranged how they were presented and added on that was missing. I also changed Murders to Victims and included the survivor. Additionally the article was missing the efforts of the surviving victim in his capture so I added that as well. We should seek balance in applying available information regarding the victims without forming an opinion. Some details may or may not be relevant.--Asr1014 (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
