Comment: @CommanderWaterford:: What do you mean with “clearly”? Can you explain a bit of your WP:BEFORE? SportsOlympic (talk) 21:09, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well known in Belgium as a VRT reporter. He also started on the pirate radio stations which liberated the Dutch radio and television for other broadcasting stations, and he wrote a stack of books. Clearly notable. KittenKlub (talk) 21:20, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KittenKlub, well there have been references added meanwhile so now I would delete the word "clearly", it is on the borderline, not every book author is notable and the point that he has liberated the dutch radio was not very clear out stated in my opinion. CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Radio stations caused it, not an individual DJ. His main notability is as a reporter for more than 30 years. He is notable in Belgium.KittenKlub (talk) 21:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well known reporter and radio broadcaster. I think it complies with WP:GNG. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 22:10, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable radio producer. Have always been good references in the article. I still don’t understand the reasoning with “clearly” of the nominator. SportsOlympic (talk) 18:23, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: He has received some coverage. Sources in the article are reliable, it's good enough to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 00:57, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
