[edit] Dirk, Count of Holland

Not submitter. Just completing deletion procedure. I'd vote keep as there's plenty of random European nobles around here. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and rename Dirk I of West Frisia Dirk of West Frisia. Quick research at this site [[1]] shows that the first Count of Holland was Dirk III, Count of Holland. His predecssors were known as the Counts of West Frisia. This is supported by the Count of Holland article. Movementarian 06:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Movementarian. Durova 09:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and rename Dirk of West Frisia. The Count of Holland article already links it as such. (Dirk I of West Frisia is not the same person) - Jeroen [[User_talk:Jkruis|(talk)]] 09:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. I would like to see more information before saying they are two different people. The year of death for the "newly discovered" Count is the same as Dirk I. Movementarian 09:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. Let me put it another way: renaming this article Dirk of West Frisia makes it consistent with the Count of Holland article. Whether there really were two different people might better be discussed on Talk:Count_of_Holland. - Jeroen [[User_talk:Jkruis|(talk)]] 10:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I see your point. Movementarian 11:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Rename to Dirk 1½ of West Frisia, maybe? :-) --Agamemnon2 06:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
