I did not do the neutrality tag but I do have some remarks about the article.

First: it is not sourced, it really should give some links or references to back up all things said. I the press did publish the information given to them that should not be a problem.

Second and for me more important: this is a hagiography, everything that's mentioned was a great succes. If true it should be sourced. And even then: only naming successes is not a good way to write biographies in encyclopedia.

I think hagiography is too strong a word, but this certainly isn't a biography (bios = life, and we learn nothing about this man's life). My reservations are different: is Lex de Haan noteworthy enough for his own article? Rp (talk) 18:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
