I will do the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.
One concern is the lead. Per WP:LEAD the lead is to be a summary of the article. The lead is one sentence and hardly a summary of the article.
Ref [10] appears to be the thesis of the article's primary editor. This isn't appropriate per WP:OR. I'd welcome discussion on this point.
Another concern is comprehensiveness, when did he die? Did he marry? I know that there is little biographical information on him, is there anything else that could be added though?
Are there any images that can be added? Not necessarily of the man but anything that could be related to the article.
I will hold the article for one week pending work. H1nkles ( talk) 02:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
There's an image of the Sint-Donaaskathedraal here but it dates from the 1735. Im not sure what it looked like in the early 1400's, but I suspect pretty similar. I'd be happy to upload it if it's felt worthwhile. Otherwise there's this: File:Brugge - Waterhalle 1294 - 1787.jpg. It dates from 1562 and the cathedral is on the left.

(outdent) Thank you for the above discussion, it shows that there are many editors who are committed to ensuring the quality of the work here at this project. Please also understand that my intent is the same. My comments were given with the motivation of helping the article to become better. The GA Sweeps project was implemented because the GA Criteria was drastically changed in August of 2007 and all of the articles passed through GA prior to this change require a review to ensure that they still meet the new, more stringent criteria. It is evident that this article does and I will gladly keep it at GA. I do hope that the editors will not give up on the GA process as I personally feel that (albeit flawed) it is one of the best ways to ensure a standard for quality among articles. Keep up the good work! H1nkles ( talk) 15:02, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
