Hardly meets WP:ANYBIO. Created by User:Refugeeadvocacy, very likely in a conflict of interest. bender235 (talk) 11:30, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:ANYBIO only comes into play if the subject doesn't pass WP:BIO#Basic criteria. Could the nominator please explain how the sources in the article and found by clicking on the word "news" in the nomination fail to demonstrate a pass of those criteria? I must also point out that, per WP:AGF, we shouldn't be guessing about an author's motives for creating an article, and, even if there was a conflict of interest, that wouldn't be a valid reason for deletion.

  • Redirect to PASSOP. The vast majority of sources in this article are either broken links, unreliable sources, or don't even mention Hanekom once. Don't think he passes the notability bar. —SW— gossip 18:35, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is clear that he is well known, please look at talk comments over thirty thousand google results and several news results. Unfounded nomination for deletion.
  • He is found everywhere on the web can someone explain why there is a problem with this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.133.112.79 (talk) 18:28, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems he is extensively quoted and has received many awards, should remain on wikipedia.41.133.113.22 (talk) 06:39, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
