Keep His co-starring in the 1896 comedy film Gestoorde hengelaar by M.H. Laddé, the very first Dutch fictional film, is a decent assertion verifiable in reliable sources, and meets WP:ENT#3 for his unique and verifiable contribution to birth of the film industry... specially in an era where the primitive nature of films made many think that film itself was only a curiosity or passing fancy. We do not judge films or actors from the very birth of the history of film in the same manner as we do something done last year by some big studio. No, as an encyclopedia we do our best to preserve information about cinematic history for posterity. Related to the similar AFD for his contemporary and partner Lion Solser, Notability is not temporary and we do not expect ongoing modern-day coverage for someone whose career began and ended was over 100 years ago. We can accept that if the EYE Film Institute Netherlands has determined him worth including, we can too. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:06, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
