Proposed deletion

Well, I've done my bit to flesh it out. The man's name is unique enough that no other hits come up on the NASA ADS. Why not keep this little stub? It can't hurt.

Instead of deleting stubby articles such as this one, maybe we should collect them together into an article along the lines of "Minor Dutch astronomers" (by nationality, by century, or by specialisation).

I understand paper encyclopaedias need to pick and choose, but that argument doesn't hold (or is but a weak argument) for the Wikipedia, as others have already expounded elsewhere.
