Source-derived summary

Jasper Waalkens (born 13 February 1989 in Schijndel) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a winger for DOVO on loan from SV Spakenburg in the Dutch Tweede Divisie.

Career

Waalkens started his career with Avanti'31. At young age he was scouted by both FC Den Bosch and Willem II. Because of the commuting distance he made the choice for FC Den Bosch. A few years later Willem II was interested again to sign him. This time he made the choice for the PSV Eindhoven youth academy. In his first under-19 year he won the prize for the best player in the competition.

Although PSV wanted to give him a chance in the reserve squad, Waalkens signed a two-year deal (with option) with Willem II. August 9, 2009 he made his professional debut in the awaymatch against FC Utrecht (1–0 loss).

In the summer 2017, Waalkens joined SV Spakenburg. He was loaned out to DOVO for the 2019–20 season.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Jasper Waalkens” is dutch footballer. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Jasper, Waalkens and Dutch, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1989, 2009, 2017, 2019—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1989-02-13. For this dossier, Jasper, Waalkens and Dutch is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “dutch footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2196926. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2009, 2017 and 2019.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
