A minor Die Glocke fringe theorist mentioned by one or two authors, but only in passing, and only in context of Die Glocke. Witkowski is known only in the context of this single event, and fails WP:BIO. Since we have no other WP:RS sources to build a balanced biography of the man it would have to be all about "Nazi wonder weapons". LuckyLouie (talk) 13:25, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep Sadly thanks to the Nick Cook I have rather a lot of sources featuring this guy. However it is true that they almost exclusively focus on ufology and so I am amenable to a merge argument. I would also like to preemptively remind users to remain civil and avoid personal attacks.

  • Delete It seems to me the only references that cite Witkowski are some recent fringe or conspiracy books such as by Joseph P. Farrell. I would like to see some reliable sources but are not seeing any. So this is a definite delete for me, unless of course some reliable references are shown but this seems doubtful.

  • Strong delete and recommend WP:SALTing ... fails GNG - typical fringe theorist protected by a castle wall of mentions by fellow fringe theorists in refs to create an appearance of notability BlueSalix (talk) 03:42, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am unsure what grounds for salting exist? Artw (talk) 04:54, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I acknowledge your uncertainty. Thanks - BlueSalix (talk) 05:03, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
