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 was wondering the same thing. Nobody's complained about the following entries, to name two:

But... you would probably soon be fingered and blocked as puppet/single-purpose accounts, which would not really be an unfair assessment, whether you know how to say "non-notable, delete" in a dozen languages or not.
I mean, think about it. Imagine if the same sort of thing happened here.
