Dirk Reynders

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Having myself despeedied it, and with a PROD removed by the article creator just now, the question remains: is this Dirk Reynders notable? I emphasize "this" because my Gnews archive search appears to mix in a different person of the same name, who is a digital media business person and not this digital media theorist -- or are they one and the same? The article's rather exhaustive list of accomplishments nor the external links refer to him being the "new media manager at SBS Belgium," which appears again and again in the Gnews search. So I'm rather inclined to think he is not that Dirk Reynders -- and does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:ACADEMIC. Am I mistaken and are they one and the same?

 * Okay, the article creator has kindly clarified on the article talk page that these are two different people, which then throws the issue over to a Gbook and scholarly search, as an academic and theorist, I should think. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Almost nothing on GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:35, 31 August 2013 (UTC).


 * When i add some publications of Reynders, does this meet the evidence you need to proove he is an academic professor with relevance for the academic world?Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 01:27, 1 September 2013 (UTC)wavesurfer2013 thank you so uch for responding and helping me....
 * No. See WP:ACADEMIC. What is needed is evidence that his research has made an impact, not just that he and it exist. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:53, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you for the respons, i think the references of the catholic university and brussels news prove already this, he is also interviewed for a glbt magazine about the relevance of his research for the gay community and the acceptance of homosexuality. I will add the link where he is mentioned.Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 02:33, 1 September 2013 (UTC)wavesurfer2013
 * Delete The only source that might be usable for notability is Brussles News and ISSUU (ZiZo), which is not enough to meet WP:GNG. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:28, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Ok thanks, i added the full magazine of the agora magazine online, it's a magazine of the university of Utrecht and the university of Leuven where he has an article about fashion and the male bodyWavesurfer2013 (talk) 18:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You're doing multiple edits without using the WP:EDITSUMMARY, so it's hard for me to see which link(s) you mean. Would you want to post the new reference links here? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:05, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Ok so this link is the agora one: http://www.agora-magazine.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/AGORA-2013-1-Seksualiteit.pdf

I also added now links to other wikipedia pages

I added the link with the full article from the newspaper de morgen, this is the link: http://lacquemant.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/de-nieuwe-man-spreidt-de-benen-wijd/

So what do i have to do next? :-) Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 19:15, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * As for the Agora link, it appears to me that he'd had an essay published, and then is mentioned once in a colleagues's essay: it doesn't appear to be an completely independent source about him or his work, as really required by WP:N. Now, for the second blog link, forget that. But this one is WP:RS. That's a good one. The guidelines call for "multiple" reliable sources and so I usually try for three in articles I've created. If there are two more, from Belgian (or other European) publications (professionally edited, not user generated), radio or TV interviews, you'd have me onside. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

He is mentioned in 3 newpapers: de morgen, de standaard en het belang van limburg... Maybe you have a database where you still can find the articles. He is also mentioned on radio brussels, the agora magazine he published in is from 2 universities i think they wouldn't publish his article as it wasn't good.

The link to the blog is the article from the newspaper de morgen, also this refers to that article http://www.nieuws.be/nieuws/De_nieuwe_man_spreidt_de_benen_wijd_42daa22a.aspx Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 19:45, 1 September 2013 (UTC) This is the link to the newspaper de standaard http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20120724_00233556?fb_source=message Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 19:51, 1 September 2013 (UTC) That exhibition is a result of his research doctorate at that university, i think the article in de standaard en nieuws.be will meet up the required standards, thanks Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 20:01, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This link is nothing: just an announcement on a news portal, based on the aforementioned blog. Drmies (talk) 19:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only thing I see that adds up to notability is this exposition--but it's a small one, at a university gallery, that ran for two weeks. Drmies (talk) 19:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that's one. And even if that one exposition did lead to other WP:RS where the subject is figured prominently, I suppose WP:SINGLEEVENT might come into play, as well, for some editors. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

And the link to newspaper de standaard, the most intelectual flemish newspaper and the link with nieuws.be, are they ok? Thanks :-) Wavesurfer2013 (talk) 21:16, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
