The career as a draughts player seems to have ended after earning the Netherlands youth championship, which as an award falls short of what is normally expected for , and given it is from 1963 there isn't any coverage to be found now, at least online. A thorough search on http://laatste.info/bb3/index.php this forum may reveal more details on this aspect (see for instance http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Flaatste.info%2Fbb3%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D602%26start%3D90 http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Flaatste.info%2Fbb3%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D65%26t%3D3046%26start%3D15). He fares better as an historian and author, as there are a handful of cites and mentions of his work from other authors, such as http://books.google.es/books?id=535EMyDchD4C&pg=PA143&lpg=PA143&dq=govert+westerveld&source=bl&ots=vmF2P7LH95&sig=IUb1jLXRa3FZUG6FC5qoK6UMlPQ&hl=es&sa=X&ei=670rUOSlHomm8gS20oHwCg&ved=0CF0Q6AEwCTgU#v=onepage&q=govert%20westerveld&f=false http://books.google.es/books?id=NXIjAQAAIAAJ&q=govert+westerveld&dq=govert+westerveld&source=bl&ots=X9gmF7ihdG&sig=om4bltX_9oTrPGGht2R2Rmgs1DM&hl=es&sa=X&ei=670rUOSlHomm8gS20oHwCg&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAjgU http://books.google.es/books?id=t8lOAQAAIAAJ&q=govert+westerveld&dq=govert+westerveld&source=bl&ots=84e2dX92BD&sig=9F_uKtb2vOEh5Nlya7uaVqjzGwk&hl=es&sa=X&ei=CLwrUKTtDYyq8AStmYCYAQ&ved=0CEgQ6AEwBjgo http://books.google.es/books?id=wNgTAQAAIAAJ&q=govert+westerveld&dq=govert+westerveld&source=bl&ots=fEaHuw1Scq&sig=TjkBq3jnalk4D23wbAAtzh61uB8&hl=es&sa=X&ei=CLwrUKTtDYyq8AStmYCYAQ&ved=0CE0Q6AEwBzgo http://books.google.es/books?id=rH6DAAAAMAAJ&q=govert+westerveld&dq=govert+westerveld&source=bl&ots=3iqlKpXp6N&sig=Woc6rsb1i2CKKctcKMfNXV4vxEY&hl=es&sa=X&ei=0LsrULmKIIPE9gSo7YDYDA&ved=0CFIQ6AEwBzge (see also the http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Govert+Westerveld%22 GScholar results). I think it does serve to note a certain reputation within the subject area, but it falls short of  and , and I cannot find at least one source that addresses the subject, even briefly, in a biographical manner, so I'm leaning to delete in the end. I'd be happy to change if someone can muster one or two |supersources, but I feel they might just not exist at all
