Comment: Coverage of the subject were dated days after the accident that the subject died in, which makes the subject WP:1E. Unless it can be demonstrated that the subject is significant outside of "died in a plane crash", a separate article seem redundant. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 18:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: No new material since last decision, and the main issue I see remains that it is not clear at *why* this person qualifies for an article. Policy is clear that merely being involved in a major incident is not enough to call for an article, and the bio as currently written does not show any exceptional activity. Without this, I cannot see this proceeding. SeoR (talk) 02:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The draft was not approved because “This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.” without further comments. The article is based on sources of Algemeen Handelsblad, De Telegraaf, Soerabaijasch Handelsblad and De Standaard. Note that these sources also have in depth coverage of the subject. 109.37.139.48 (talk) 19:54, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
