Comment: Due to complete lack of |reliable sources that establish |notability. The article may make mention that the subject fulfills one of the criteria of , but there is no reference to support this. As users above have mentioned, an article with one single notability claim must have a source for that claim

Comment: per , point 7: He is tenured professor, and his Beamer software has made substantial impact outside theoretical IT. The sources are thin but http://www.einstieg-informatik.de/index.php?article_id=6 here is a reasonably reliable secondary source where all claims can be verified - the assembly of all German universities teaching IT (a ''very'' bold translation of "Fakultätentag Informatik") found it appropriate to put him on a list of top-IT people, along with Konrad Zuse, Ada Lovelace, and Edsger Dijkstra

Comment: I don't think he passes . Being a tenured professor is not a criteria for inclusion. Never mind that the German academic system is different enough that "tenured" isn't really a good translation for Universitätsprofessor. He never held an assistant professor postion. Being tentured right after getting a Ph.D is a bit strange, don't you think? Even being a full professor is not a criteria for inclusion. He does not appear to have his habilitation, which probably means he cannot lead Ph.D. students yet. His h-index is about 8; his most cited paper has 16 citations. His TeX work may be known to some, but both his TeX packages have a hard time finding independent coverage. They're not included in the usual TeX books. Although I think they have significant technical merit (I created the TikZ article, as I indicated above), that's just |my opinion for |now. The next thing somebody is going to add to his bio here is his civil union, 'cause that's pretty much all that's in his CV. Expecting "teh gay" vandalism shortly after that. There just isn't enough material here for an encyclopedic entry. (Yes, I know he got a MFCS best student paper award, that he spent a year in Richard Karp|Karp's group as visiting scholar or postdoc maybe, can't tell from the telegraphic resume
