Hoax? Completely unverifiable, both at "Bezuindenhout" (a name which doesn't exist) and "Bezuidenhout". The lone source is from 1912, so predates the works it supposedly references, and doesn't contain Bezui(n)denhout anyway. No other source could be found which even mentions this artist.

Delete - I'm not seeing anything. Literally nothing. JMWt (talk) 10:58, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The book cited in the article does not show up on Google Books, although I can find one vague reference to it being published in 1912, but no evidence that this book references Albanus Bezuindenhout. Notwithstanding that, I can find nothing on Google or Google Scholar mentioning Albanus Bezuindenhout so at the very least this seems to fail GNG, if not a hoax.

- The book can be found on Google Books once you have figured out the actual name of the author, here. Fram (talk) 11:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
