Some clarification

Hello M.Rauterberg, I'm Howicus. I'm the one who nominated Matthias Rauterberg for speedy deletion, and I thought I'd clarify why. I'm sure that Matthias Rauterberg is a real person, and that the information is correct. That's not the problem. The issue is that every Wikipedia article needs to be based on reliable, independent sources that cover the subject of the article in depth. Currently the article had one source, the website of an organization Rauterberg is part of, which is not independent of him. See this page for more on what makes a good source.

p.s. forgive the third person, I wrote this before I saw the message on your user page. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 20:53, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Howicus, thanks for your kind explanation; according the recommendation of GB fan I created the talk page for the deleted page Matthias Rauterberg, and put my reaction there. This was done to enable and support the community effort. Sure, I can provide the required reliable and independent source to justify the content, but I was obviously too late. The page was created by someone else, and I came recently across the existance of it.
