Per Wikipedia:NOTCV, Wikipedia:CONFLICT: This article was written by the subject; in fact, the only edits made here by User:Jverheyden have been about himself. The article reads like a CV, with external links to works by the subject. Other than the fact they were published, there is no indication of notability or neutrality in this article content, and much remains uncited after more than two years.

To conform this article with basic Wiki standards until this is resolved, I've removed the content in clear violation of Wikipedia:BLP and migrated external links into references to put them into the best context possible. The article should still be deleted per Wikipedia:N. JFHJr (㊟) 03:27, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He was the OSCE spokesperson, so he was quoted a lot in the press, but I cannot find any significant coverage about him that would establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:37, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per above. It's a common fallacy at AfD for Keep proponents to ignore the explicit statement that quotes from someone in the press do not establish notability for the spokesman. Ravenswing 17:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
