Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions. Hence the redirect to a related list. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
ummm, wasn't he the first ace? doesn't that make him significant? I'm rolling this back until we can have a discussion of this. auntieruth(talk) 15:02, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
I see several google book hits that discuss Schreiber in depth due to him being the 1st jet fighter pilot to score an aerial victory.Icewhiz (talk) 15:15, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Most I would classify as passing mentions; the only one that really goes enough in depth that I can find is this book, which clearly mentions two different engagements and gives him a separate paragraph. Alcherin (talk) 17:20, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Well, by itself being the first to shoot down another plane in a jet plane doesn't establish notability, but with the use of WP:NPOSSIBLE then we can presume notability. Not all RSs are listed in Google searches; Academic databases may have more information on him. Alcherin (talk) 17:12, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Couldn't find anything on those I have access to, but records are more likely to exist in German-language sources. Alcherin (talk) 02:11, 28 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
And also the currently cited German Jet Aces of World War 2 should amount to significant coverage since it describes five claims, the problem with the first claim, and the how and why of his death. Alcherin (talk) 14:35, 28 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
If an ace and the first jet ace this is suffient? Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 23:04, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'd consider being the first jet ace to be sufficient to establish notability on WP even if in-depth coverage is lacking (thus far). Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:38, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
