 * Comment. I'll provide some historic context, collapsed and mildly put for reasons of BLP. gidonb (talk) 02:10, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

WH was for three years an extremely efficient content warrior at nlwiki. He used at least two accounts to !vote and had a team of like-minded folks who supported each other's content wars. Eventually he was blocked for sockpuppetry. Approximately the same time, at work, he also made some bad decisions and was fired from a senior public position. It wasn't criminal so they had to buy him out. This was well covered in the press. Nothing of this case and his main career appears in this WP:COI article, nor does one case of alleged plagiarism that also drew attention. While he technically passes the WP:GNG, WH is not very important, the article is highly selective, and it is all too minor to dig into. His publishing house or his publishing from his house clearly fails the WP:GNG and can be deleted. gidonb (talk) 02:10, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment. I added some references from the corresponding article in the Dutch Wikipedia. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:53, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Eastmain. Better than just referencing, you made the article somewhat balanced. I have nominated his publishing business, Flanor. gidonb (talk) 03:50, 17 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: Per Nom, WP:REFBOMB, WP:PROVEIT, and Biographies of living persons. The first reference, "Lost confidence in library director", is about a "dysfunctional general manager", the second a dead link, as well as the third. This does not advance any notability, especially for a BLP. This leaves the "External links", which would be improper sourcing. A university published thesis for a doctorate, and the rest of the collection just does not reach any minimum bar of notability. As a supposed "expert" on Facism where is the evidence? The final thorn in the bush is that all three references point to the 2008 contentious material concerning the Nijmegen library conflict of trust, also left dangling, which raises NPOV issues. --  Otr500 (talk) 02:47, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
