 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:21, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - There appears to be substantial sourcing in Dutch. Page exists for this millionaire businessman, philanthropist, and museum operator on German WP. HERE is substantial coverage in the book Living History: Encountering the Memory of the Heirs of Slavery. 31.4K Google hits for the very unique name indicates a large iceberg of potential source material.

 * Keep just because one is too lazy to look beyond English speaking pages doesn't give one the right to declare "lack of notability". Gelt Dekker's main Wikipedia page is in Dutch and has a number of Dutch language sources. I am adding in-line English and Dutch sources to the English article. As of 28 December article is now better sourced RSarlls
 * Delete- Not notable. There are lots of millionaire businessmen, if he was a billionaire then maybe. I am not convinced just because a Dutch wiki exists (maybe that should be deleted too?) and one mention in a book isn't notable. In the other sources (at least those I can read), he eithier just gets a passing mention or the sources or local.--Rusf10 (talk) 14:45, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep There may be lot of millionaires but some can stand out of the rest and this one for sure is. And given his German nationality it is reasonable more sources about him must exist in German, which simple Google search in English cannot show. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:02, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. I wholeheartedly agree with User: RSarlls who said: "Keep just because one is too lazy to look beyond English speaking pages doesn't give one the right to declare "lack of notability". A quick review of his business career and other achievements show he is notable.Knox490 (talk) 06:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- squeaks by on WP:GNG per review of available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:40, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
