Draft:Andreas Lechner

  • Comment: The only claim to notability, as it seems currently, is the 2020 gold medal for his book. Is the book the topic that's notable? Does not seem to be established for the author currently; this article requires multiple secondary/independent sources which specifically describe Lechner.
