The result was speedy keep. Utterly meritless nomination. We do not waste community time - and patience - on this. Fatal flaw to not mention the 5,700 hits in Dutch newspaper archives. Also taking into consideration the rather long series of nominations from the same user on the same day, many with consensus growing firmly against the noms.

• Keep (speedy?). Honestly, I am very concerned about the level of BEFORE searching you do if you think he's non-notable. A quick search brings up dozens of stories with him in the title, e.g. this or this. The extensive Dutch article references many books describing him and mentions he won ... 44 National Championships!! This should just be withdrawn as another waste of time.
