Jan van den Berg
This article qualifies as a vanity page. It's a life story that's most likely fictional, culminating in this 'Jan van den Berg' becoming an employee of a company called Firstkontaktdesign. The only link in the article points to an unfinished homepage, and the website of Firstkontaktdesign reveals it as an insignificant (6 employees) graphic design company. Googling "Firstkontaktdesign" AND "Jan van den Berg" yields just 2 hits. I was scanning the list of articles requiring quick translation, but for the lack of importance of this page to anybody besides Jan van den Berg himself, I recommend deletion instead. --Ivo van der Horst 12:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete regretfully the page in Nederlands unless someone translates it. Adieu, vaarwel! --Starionwolf 18:38, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete snel snel - hoax. Two quotes: "Jan was sold to Chinese pirates and put on a yonk that braught him to Kyoto. Here he fulfilled from his ninth until his fifteenth birthday the role of sparring partner of the famous sumo wrestler Konishiki. After this rather intensive period there was no bone left in his body that was not broken..."  And, the real culmination: "He remained working here till long after his death."   --Lambiam Talk  19:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * According to the article on Konishiki the latter entered sumo in 1982, when Jan would have been 14. --Lambiam Talk 19:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
