Orphan that probably doesn't meet biographical notability guidelines. Rawlangs (talk) 16:53, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked for sources. The article cites exactly one. The sum total of published information about this person that I can find are reports of his being arrested, but released without charge after a few hours, a couple of times back in the 1990s. There was supposedly a television documentary made about this person, but that was broadcast sixteen years ago, and (given Special:Contributions/77.137.41.191) I have reservations about its suitability as a source even were it available today. Cohen 2011 isn't a spectacular source, given that it is contradicted by contemporary newspaper reports still available via Google News, such as Dispatch 1996 — which, as you can see, at 79 words total is shallow stuff for the creation of a biography, and based upon a U.K. tabloid newspaper to boot. Ironically, Cohen 2011 shows that the world documents this as a subject of royal stalkers and stalking, and this person is but an anecdote, not a candidate for a full biography, whose life and works outwith one subject are simply not recorded by history.

If kept rename to Klaus Wagner (crank) or Klaus Wagner (stalker). However, he seems utterly NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:15, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails Wikipedia:CRIME#CRIM. He stalked Lady Di for a few months, and after being arrested, he faded away into obscurity. Bearian (talk) 22:10, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
