Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dutch (ethnic group)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep, bad-faith nomination. AfD is not for solving content disputes, as long as everybody agrees there should be an article on this topic. Which is pretty obvious in this case. If the nominator wants a clean rewrite, he can write one any time (but he'll be well advised to get consensus for that beforehand, difficult as it may be.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch (ethnic group)

Dutch (ethnic group) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsalvageably inaccurate, POV fork of earlier 'Dutch people' article slanted to Greater Netherlands ideology, clean-up, cn and accuracy tags are constantly removed, no consensus after months of circular discussion and reverts, scrap this version and begin again with 'Dutch people' Paul111 12:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep. The nominating editor has long tried to completely change the article. As anyone can see, the article has plenty of references. Currently there are 91 footnotes alone. No other article on an ethnic group, not even featured ones, have that many references. This user has accused contributors of hidden far-right agendas and repeatedly flooded the articles talkpage with supposed claims that were not even in the article. Because his version, or adaptations of the article were reverted by multiple users many times, this is just another attempt at disrupting the wikipedia process of writing a good article. To me personally this request for deletion just radiates the following thought: "If I can't have it my way, nobody will have it his/her/their way". I hope (but don't really doubt) others will follow and also oppose this request.Rex 13:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, as this is a content dispute (as admitted by the nominator: "..begin again with 'Dutch people'"). --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 13:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
