Created by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 18:15, 8 January 2022 (UTC).
Nominated a few days after creation, and is about 2500 bytes, satisfying date and length criteria. Article is sourced, with one possible minor close paraphrasing issue ("For the 1930 global exhibition in Antwerp he was commissioned to design pavilions"). Hooks are suitably short and have reliable sources. Image is freely licenced and is OK at the scale required by DYK, though I would suggest cropping the bottom of the photo. My only concern is the this ref appears to be user-generated, and specifically cites the Dutch Wikipedia page about Léon Stynen as its source. It's also evident that an automated translator was used, as for example the name "Henry Van de Velde" appears as "Henry of the Velde". Nothing cited to this source should be considered reliable; please see WP:RS. The Dutch article has a list of sources that could be used instead, though all appear to be offline.

- @Mindmatrix: Thank you much for the speedy review. Also, thank you for noticing that wiki sourced reference... I removed the reference entirely and sourced with better. I also removed the quote about him working on the 1930 exposition pavilions. Regarding images - There are quite a few images under (Sint-Ritakerk) one can Choose from on Commons. was looking for one that conveys brutalism. Like this. Thank you much Bruxton (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
