Prod was contested and only the slightest of improvements was made. I am not a sports fan and writing 101 fits in perfectly here: Soccer fans may know if this guy is notable or not but assuming he is, no one has clued me in based on what is written in the article. The article has been around for a while and it hasn't been significantly improved. Someone said they would but there are hundreds if not thousands of wiki articles where people say that and never do what they say, so I am skeptical. Even so, as written, the article doesn't indicate why this guy is notable. I don't know if he is Europe's version of Pele or if he was a benchwarmer or something in between. Where are stats, honors, etc.? Better yet, where are links from other articles, such as lists of members on teams he was a member of or some such thing? Postcard Cathy 11:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Definite keep - clearly a lot of work needs to be put into the article to bring it up to scratch but the fact that it is only a stub is not grounds for deletion. Although he has several mentions on the Dutch WP there is no article about him there which could be translated into English. Daemonic Kangaroo 12:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
