The result was keep. Speedy keep, per SNOW if you like: nominator User:WildChild300 clearly did not do their homework, and is advised that there was a time that the World Wide Web did not exist. Whoa, this is the Jurgens of Van den Bergh/Jurgens? Hint: check Google Books. This is the first hit. Drmies (talk) 01:24, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

There are no reliable references on this figure. Most other websites detailing life on this figure are just a copy and paste of the Wikipedia page, which would be absolutely useless to reference. The others are sketchy family tree websites, which don’t seem very reliable. WildChild300 (talk) 10:32, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

 * The pointer to this person's entry in the Biografisch Woordenboek van Nederland is right there in the article, and was helpfully supplied by the article's creator back in 2005. Uncle G (talk) 12:06, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: He is obviously notable as the linked Dutch Biographical Dictionary article gives him the leading role in a major Dutch company from 1888 to 1939 then in the formation of Unilever. The article needs a lot of work as it does not explain his role and has no inline citations, but that is not a reason for deletion. The article mentions half way through that he was called Anton Jurgens so histories of Unilever often use that name.TSventon (talk) 15:20, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep With an entry in a dictionary of national biography, he obviously meets WP:ANYBIO. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:11, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Historically important businessman and also served in the Dutch Senate. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:45, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. It seems that the nominator needs reminding that the World Wide Web didn't yet exist in the early twentieth century when the subject was active, so a web search is not the way to go about investigating notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:42, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
