Geert R. A. Kliphuis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No WP:SIGCOV on his career to determine notability; no chart information for his music to satisfy WP:NSINGER; does not appear to meet criteria of WP:NAUTHOR either. – DarkGlow • 11:42, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

 * delete, I'm struggling to find anything about him at all. Unless I'm really bad at Google searches (which is quite possible) it's going to be a real stretch to establish any notability whatsoever. The book "Dutch guitarists" which pops up in Google as available from Amazon has a disclaimer that it is made up of Wikipedia articles; all the other things I found were WP articles or mirrors of them; he seems to have called himself Jay Conrad when writing lyrics for an album 'Steeltown girls', in which he hasn't done us any favours as a Google search for 'Jay Conrad' turns up mostly Jay Conrad Levinson (someone else). Rarely has a potentially-notable person managed to remain so firmly below Google's radar. Can anyone find anything Dutch? Elemimele (talk) 18:59, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Elemimele, I could find a Dutch-language column that Kliphuis wrote for the distinguished NRC Handelsblad. I have added it as a reference, unformatted as this this article most likely will go do the drain. As far as I can tell, Kliphuis made a decent contribution to several media products and services, still fails the WP:GNG and WP:NCREATIVE. WP:NOTINHERETED also applies to this article in its current state. gidonb (talk) 23:04, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
