Deletion of Eddy Willems (2nd nomination)

Comment: ping|G Kindermans|Liverpool Larry}} per  you should not write about people you are personally acquainted with. It is considered a conflict of interest as far as Wikipedia is concerned.

Comment: My edits to this article were made yesterday (15th August 2017), which was the first time I'd seen the article. Unless that was meant to refer to the fact that I haven't edited on Wikipedia for several years, which is probably true. At the time when I initiated and edited some articles, I felt that the security industry could be better represented in Wikipedia - I still do - but changes in my personal circumstances diverted me in other directions. The jury is still out on whether it's worth my returning to that project: I'll see what happens with this article. : Yes, I'm acquainted with Eddy Willems. I know a great many people in the security industry: that's why I feel entitled to make a recommendation. I've made some edits that I hope make it clearer why I think he merits an entry, but the main body could certainly do with some neutral editing. I was actually planning to make some more edits there today, but perhaps I'll wait and see what further comments are made here. And no, I'm not Eddy Willems or G. Kindermans

With Google Translate we can see that most of the publications and articles have called upon the subject, considering him as an expert. The German publisher of his book is a notable publisher mentioned in WP. The question remains whether WP should have an article about Eddy Willems. The answer to that question seems to be yes to me as well; there is enough to meet the . Maybe the suggested and discussed links in this section should be added to the WP article

Comment: Eddy Willems is a well-respected member of the security community and has been for many years. I would consider it appropriate to keep the article, albeit with some changes in content and presentation. I base this recommendation on his work with the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization and the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research as well as some significant contributions to the corpus of security literature, such as a useful security book and at least two important papers on the EICAR test file. I intend to make some direct edits to the article relevant to ,  and  which should make the case for keeping it stronger
