Tricky case. Poor article, completely lacking in proper sourcing--the problem is establishing to which extent the subject can lean on the credits of the hit he co-wrote and co-produced; I cannot find reliable sources that argue he can derive notability from it. He and fellow writer Janieck van de Polder were given BUMA/STEMRA awards for the tune because it charted internationally, but they got 2nd and 3rd for national and international hit song--not number 1, and one should realize that these aren't awards as much as verification of hit status: the second biggest Dutch hitsingle wins second in the national hitsingle category. Given the low number of articles discussing our subject, I'm going with delete since he does not pass the GNG--this is the one more or less reliable source I found, an article from a local paper which describes how his hometown mayor invited him over for coffee. Noordwijk--nice place. Drmies (talk) 02:30, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
