[edit] Broom (clean)

Not exactly sure why this was deproded. Anyways, the article claims that some Dutch hotels require that you sweep your own room with a "Dutch sweeping style". The whole thing strikes me (and at least one other editor who put up the prod) as highly doubtful. Note that I'm not contesting that the requirement that you clean your own room does not exist but that most likely is not as widespread as the article suggests, is not as typically Dutch and has nothing to do with a sweeping style.

• Delete. Even if true (and that's unlikely), without sources, we can't take the editor's word for it. And "Broom (clean)" wouldn't be the proper title for an article about this custom, even if it were a notable one. (and it doesn't seem to be). wikipediatrix 15:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I have not spent as much time in the Netherlands as I have in other European countries, but I certainly never encountered this in my travels there. Possibly a hoax and certainly not widespread or customary even if true. Indrian 15:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. "Broom" is not a verb, and even if it was, there is no explanation in this short, trite, badly-named article to explain what a "Dutch sweeping style" is, other than that it's apparently unique. Teeters on the edge of coherence. Djcartwright 20:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Have been to the Netherlands on serveral occassions, never encountered this, neither has a Dutch friend I just asked, and no evidence of it at all through anything I tried on google. If true, it can't be verified by me. Dave 20:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
