I couldn't find evidence that he passes WP:GNG. The only source provided in the article is a forbes list of billionaires which is not enough to show notability. WP:BEFORE search hampered by his son also having the same name. I couldn't find evidence that he has notability outside of the company that he is chairman of. Possible redirect target would be Ketel One. Suonii180 (talk) 23:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I question whether just being a billionaire is enough to confer notability. (Also, do we count it in dollars, euros or what?) PatGallacher (talk) 23:51, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is he "just a billionaire", as you say, or also an accomplished business leader? Maybe read up a bit on the subject? gidonb (talk) 17:07, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ketel One. On his own, he has no in-depth coverage. He is only known as the CEO and heir to Ketel One. MartinWilder (talk) 01:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Ketel One. Nolet passes the WP:GNG. Still, the article so short that we're better off merging. Most of Nolet's fame is related to Ketel One. gidonb (talk) 16:09, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure what information there is to merge over. Ketel One already states that he took over in 1979 and other than that the only information in his article is that he's a billionaire and has two children which I don't think are relevant enough to add to the company's article. I don't think at present that the article does pass WP:GNG as it only has one source that doesn't provide in-depth information about him. Suonii180 (talk) 18:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a useful data point plus reference. There are many more possible sources. This business leader (in this AfD belittled to just a rich man) passes the WP:GNG. Per WP:NEXIST, Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. The bold is in the source. But all that does not matter. Since the article is so short, we should merge anyway. gidonb (talk) 21:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
