Little evidence displayed (or described) of enduring notability. As a 'global marketing consultant' he obviously hasn't worked hard enough at marketing himself! A couple of the sources are raw press releases. I can't see any independent reliable coverage online to improve the situation. Sionk (talk) 00:34, 12 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - no reliable sources that establish notability. Some are press releases from the company (obviously not independent) and others are coverage by the company, not of the subject (in fact, they constitute coverage by the subject's business partner, not even by the subject). @Sionk - I would suggest you could expand this AFD to include the business partner ("covered" by mostly the same "sources"), but it's up to you. Neither of them is notable in my opinion. Stalwart 111  01:14, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As you may have noticed, I looked at Marc de Swaan Arons and, because Arons is a book author and magazine contributor, thought it could do with a second opinion. I left a 'notability' tag. IMO Frank van den Driest is by far the weaker candidate and, probably, if I were to nominate Arons I'd do so separately. Thanks for the suggestion. Sionk (talk) 12:02, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I had noticed - a good way forward. Stalwart 111  12:17, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
