 * Delete Much of the article repeats content and references from the article about the subject's company which is also at AfD. The involvement in a company and on a business excursion do not rise above run-of-the-mill activity to indicate WP:ANYBIO notability. Nor do awards for heritage activity in the town of Koekelare (pop. 8750) appear sufficient to provide encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 08:18, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Insufficient coverage available to meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. --Jack Frost (talk) 07:34, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Whenever there's a link to a Linkedin page in the refs of a bio, generally that's a clear sign that it's either a GNG failure, a PROMO violation, or both. South Nashua (talk) 17:31, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
