 * Provisional keep per WP:POTENTIAL, WP:V. The current state of the article does not determine the worthiness for inclusion of the topic. In this instance, a quick look at Google Books/Scholar indicate that van Riessen himself and his work in the philosophy of technology is referenced and discussed by dozens of sources. Note also that van Riessen hardly ever published in English, thus his true level of notability may be underrepresented in English language sources. I'll have to take a closer look at the available English sources later, but he certainly passes the sniff test.  the skomorokh  00:08, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
