Issues with the 2017-05-06 version

[edit]

This version of the article has a number of problems:

  • He was created first president () in succession to Robert Andersen doesn't make sense without an explanation. One cannot be the first in a position and succeed someone who held that same position earlier.
  • There is no citation for the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown.
  • It is a biography of a living person that does follow WP:MOSBIO; it does not have a date of birth, does not provide context and does not explain why the subject is notable. Mduvekot (talk) 23:28, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For me this is perfectly clear after reading Council of State (Belgium), of course.--Carolus (talk) 06:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
At Council of State (Belgium) it says: "The Council has 44 judges: a first President, a President, 14 Presidents of Chambers, 28 Councillors"; "FIrst President" is the title of the position held. I've clarified this in the article. The same page also says "it is the Supreme Administrative Court of Belgium. Its functions include assisting the executive with legal advice and being the supreme court for administrative justice". Being the top judge in a highest tier national court easily passes WP:NPOL, "judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office". This too has been made more explicit in the article, as have the publication dates of the sources already referred to. I have added a date of birth sourced to the government instrument by which he was appointed First President. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 07:58, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
