Clearly inappropriate[edit]

This page needs to be a disambiguation page, because the obscure musician (possible vanity) currently occupying the article is not the most famous Bernhard Weiß, the police executive Bernhard Weiß is. Despite allegedly being a German musician, he has no interwikis (not even the German WP), while Bernhard Weiß (police executive) has articles in a number of languages.

The corresponding article in the German Wikipedia, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Weiß, is a disambiguation page and mentions three people:

Bernhard Weiß (police executive)
Bernhard Weiß (theologian) (currently located at Bernhard Weiss, should be moved)
Bernhard Weiß (businessman)

The musician is not mentioned. Mr. Bergerac (talk) 20:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Funny thing, I only came upon this, and entered the existing disambiguation hatnotes, after looking unsuccessfully for information about the police executive (who's shown in an anachronistic picture at Ordnungspolizei). Any links in the English-language Wikipedia should include the "Weiss" version as well as "Weiß" (regardless of the preferred German style for a particular person), since, even among those who recognize "ß", no one has that character on any non-German-language keyboard. —— Shakescene (talk) 22:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
