Jan-Bart de Vreede

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a perfect example of navel gazing on Wikipedia. Whilst de Vreede is the chair of the board of trustees, this does not carry any inherent notability. The only two sources present in the article has one being a directory type listing at his place of work, and the other is a miniscule profile in a directory type listing on Newsweek. He just isn't notable NoNavelGaving (talk) 18:19, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Re-direct This same information is available on the Board of Trustees page. In fact, this page has been re-directed to the BoT page at least twice, which is what seems appropriate. LaMona (talk) 20:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * REDIRECT to Wikimedia Foundation, as it is done for Vrede's predecessor Kat Walsh. Can't find any in-depth coverage of Vrede in independent, reliable sources, only a few mentions in passing. So fails GNG and agree with nom. that his position carries no inherent notability. Iselilja (talk) 20:37, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * comment Contributions of initiating user indicates that he is likely yet another User:Russavia sock. Mangoe (talk) 11:07, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect - As has been noted in similar AfDs, a WMF chair is not an inherently notable position, so unless there is strong reliable sourcing that comes along, this person does not satisfy the project's notability criteria. Also, if hay is to be made about who the nominator may or may not be, then I'll be willing to take over the AfD as my own. Tarc (talk) 15:14, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Question Why would we redirect it to the WMF article, rather than to the article of the company (if it has one). It's still navel gazing to some extent. 175.106.60.100 (talk) 16:26, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
