Why is it that seven other Wikipedias are apparently "trustworthy" enough to have articles about Daniel Brandt but the English Wikipedia can't have anything more than a redirect, if that? What if we were to translate one of those other articles and put it here on en?
I don't know. Public relations aside, you have to remember that the second and third largest Wikimedia projects are much smaller in manpower than English Wikipedia, so article quality and coverage may not be up to our standards. For instance the French article *manque de sources* and the German article *existiert nicht.*
Maybe the writers in those languages are not so personally involved in the issues discussed in the articles. Perhaps that allows them to be more objective. There is no German Daniel Brandt article. Of the seven that exist, only the Polish one seems lengthy. They all do have sources.
