Hallo,
I wrote the article for the Dutch Wikipedia and had it translated by a native English speaker. In the meantime, I have deleted a lot and re-edited the article completely at the request of the reviewers.
In Dutch the artikcle looks completely different, but it makes sense, because there is also a lot written about his hometown Roeselare.
I also removed some primary sources and added reliable secondary sources, totally independent of the subject. The article now contains at least 15 reliable secondary sources that are 100% about Kristof Santy, and abolutely no "just passing mentions".
Most of them are Dutch-language sources, especially newspapers, magazines, the Belgian Radio (VRT) and leading art websites in Belgium. I hope “Reliable" applies also to sources in another language and from foreign countries. The sources that one finds depend in part on the language settings of the PC. I can't find any English newspaper articles.
Kristof Santy is a rising star, who exhibits a lot in England, USA and Austria and gets very good reviews. That's why I published the translated article on the en.wikipedia, which is the first time. I don't have a personal connection with the artist, I just write continuously about art on the Dutch wikipedia and I am actually writing about contemporary Belgian artists, after a serie about contemporary American artists.
I hope it's all right now. If not, just scrap it. I have done everything that is asked and what is possible for me. Sorry, but I don't want to spend any more time on it. Lacuna Leemte (talk) 09:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

- I can’t agree with your assertion. I know the standards. The references include 6 interviews, 13 articles, 1 encyclopedia and 1 primary source. That is a healthy mix that I encounter in the many en.wikipedia articles I have translated and used for the wikipedia.nl. I have now listed the different kinds for each reference, so you can easily check for yourself. Lacuna Leemte (talk) 07:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
