Subject is solely notable for creating a micronation, Grand Duchy of Flandrensis. I was going to just be bold and redirect, but I thought I'd give it a chance to go through AFD. I personally believe this article should just rediect to the micronation. Angryapathy (talk) 16:40, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Keep: Following the phenomenon of micronationalism since a few years, Niels Vermeersch is one of the few 21-century micronationalists mentioned in several independent sources, incl. academic publications. Mostly his influence on the development of environmental micronationalism and being invited to ChangeNow Paris (a non-micronational event) to speak about it and using the concept of micronationalism within a non-profit, made this figure notable enough.

 * , Can you share (or better yet add to the article) the sources you have found from IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth?  // Timothy :: talk  00:55, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Sorry, but I don't really understand anything about "IS RS with SIGCOV"? Should I upload a copy of the sources somewhere? I still have digital copies from the newspapers and interviews from during my paper and also own the books. If you are more specific, I can certainly provide the necessary documentation .
