A search of contributions by the author suggests a SPA. No edits since 2007. A google search turns up stores selling the albums but no BIO information. Dont seem to be able to verify anything beyond that music was made. Wolfstorm000 ( talk) 22:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
This article had been tagged as a PROD, based on the fact that the citations included in the article were very poor (sources that don't mention the subject, plus the subject's own website). I removed the PROD, however, because even if they weren't cited, there *are* real sources out there. For instance, I found a 6-page interview of Alex Otterlei from 2005 on an online music eZine called "The Next Level" [1]. Using that pretty decent source, you'd have a single-source article and some (perhaps valid) questions about notability, but that's got to go through a full AfD, I think. -- Rnickel ( talk) 00:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Three years ago, I objected to a WP:PROD on this article because there were a lot of good sources available on him, even if none of them were cited in the article. Since then, all that's happened is, several of the articles I found have been pasted in as external links, but still none of the actual material in the article has been sourced. It is time for this article to step up to prime time.
To those who are interested in Mr. Otterlei: please take the time to connect claims in the article with backup in reliable third-party coverage of him. This can be done by using ref tags. The cite template can also be very helpful. If you have questions about what to do or how to do it, you can ask questions here or on my talk page, and I am happy to point you in the right direction. However, the article cannot stay as it is indefinitely. Adding information is all well and good, but in the long run, it does not help to build an encyclopedia if the claims do not meet Wikipedia's standards of verification.
