Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joost de Valk (2nd nomination)
The article was made live on July 4, 2020 and nominated for deletion June 5, 2020. Honestly, I had hoped to have more time to let the article breath - Many times the start of an article is not all that is available and fleshing out articles in non-English media outlets is somewhat more difficult. I did some work today, looking for sources. I did not include all of the various announcements where de Valk was the keynote speaker at conferences. I have to look at another article now.{{pb}}I do not think any of the items below are in the article yet.{{pb}}He is referred to as an expert by these outlets. Meeting #2 and to a lesser degree #1{{pb}}The Guardian hired SEO Expert Joost De Valk to https://www.theguardian.com/info/developer-blog/2014/feb/18/how-the-guardian-successfully-moved-domain?fbclid=IwAR2CXzH0Lkht3J6XvKsNofMntkeU40VROSdvtpSIPK_Sx8Lw2wKUIj9Gxx8 move their domain name. In 2014 https://torquemag.io/2014/11/wordpress-community-shares-thoughts-microsofts-open-source-news/ Torgue Magazine quotes de Valk in their article about Microsoft. In 2017 The Guardian also called on de Valk as an expert in https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/14/google-desktop-search-out-of-date-mobile?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other&fbclid=IwAR3ffS7MbI4IvMRQljkwqPHSfu9zfyRfYXN_crR6mpl3Mfhg0JXcodgqbWs this article about Google. In 2016 Business Insider quoted de Valk in a https://www.businessinsider.nl/google-algorithm-change-fake-news-rankbrain-2016-12/?fbclid=IwAR0t3HJP2DZEG78y5z_YlHl6mLVj_fGYDCi3saMPEFCSgmYcZQ5DtpDBKAw news article about a new Google algorithm.{{pb}}These other pieces are much less worthy but I present them here as things I came across researching. In 2010 this is Kind of a bloggy looking site - State of Digital. I am https://www.stateofdigital.com/summer-interview-with-joost-de-valk/ posting it here because 2010 was the year he started Yoast. In 2011 the same website covers de Valk https://www.stateofdigital.com/ses-amsterdam-search-is-changing-wake-up-and-get-to-work/ in an article about search. He is also https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=https://www.yellowwalnut.nl/blog/ondernemer-van-de-week-joost-de-valk/&prev=search&pto=aue interviewed here (english translation) in a 2014 Yellow walnut|Yellow Walnut piece. (a bit bloggy also) And finally, in 2018 his hometown newspaper Wijchen News Netherlands https://wijchen.nieuws.nl/nieuws/20181012/schoolschaatsen-wijchen-schaatst-yoast/ published a short story quoting de Valk about sponsoring a free day of ice skating. I can keep looking if the clock does not run out
