I do speak a bit of German, enough to recognize that those articles are in Dutch and not German. I ran
this link through Google Translate and it's apparently about his death of a heart attack. -

I did a little more searching along the same lines and found no sources that would establish notability. There's still more articles that could be translated but I don't feel strongly enough about Google translations to vote either way. See my work
here.

Mmkay. I'm indifferent; someone whose death is reported in a national newspaper is likely to be notable, and it sort of moots the "living" part of
WP:BLP. -

Strong Keep. I misread the book title as being about the article subject, rather than co-written by him - no opinion for the moment on deletion. Clearly passes
WP:BIO based on the source in the article, which is a 279-page biography of the subject
[2] published by
what looks to be a reputable publisher, of which the English translation has been published by a university press
[3]. I don't think you can much more notable than that.Phil Bridger (

delete Dying does not confer added notability. WP has found buainessmwn of greater importance to be insufficiently notable in the past.

Keep CEO of international company. Dying does not create notability, but if someone is important, it often produces a good obit as a source. An obit in a major national newspaper of a country is evidence of notability. DGG (

Keep--yup, notable for the reasons given above by DGG. The obits contain plenty of factoids that prove the person is notable.
