The situation
Chair of a listed Dutch enterprise with offices in Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan. Subject of annual reports, FD profiles and international trade press. An earlier page, created by a PR agency, was rejected within ten days for "CV-style enumeration without independent sources".
The source base
Eleven independent sources evaluated: three Dutch quality dailies (FD, NRC, Volkskrant), two trade magazines, an extensive profile in an international publication, three annotated annual reports from analysts, and two academic publications discussing the executive as a case study. Seven sources qualified as strong, four as supplementary.
The approach
Page structured around career, board-level decisions with measurable impact, and public appearances. CV material limited to a single integrated paragraph. Neutral tone, factual structure. Both nl.wiki and en.wiki versions prepared; placement by the editor from their own account with correct COI disclosure.
The result
Page placed on nl.wiki without objection. English version two weeks later on en.wiki, after one formal review handled constructively. After eight months both pages remain stable, no deletion proposals.
