ter Maat or just Maat

Quick question about formatting and pedantics, but throughout the article body Mike is referred to as "ter Maat", but wouldn't it make more sense to just refer to him as "Maat"? What are people's opinions on this? Scu ba (talk) 01:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ter Maat is the correct grammar for his name. Here's a press release that his campaign issued, calling him "Candidate ter Maat":

Remove notability maintenance template at top of page?

I believe all issues were addressed including source articles/interviews specific to Mike ter Maat. Dennisconsorte (talk) 02:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I favor removing the template. If anyone believes he is non-notable, they should take it to afd rather than leaving a "notability" template at the top of page (especially without further discussion). Sal2100 (talk) 17:47, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
