Proposed deletion[edit]

This article is up for deletion because there are no reliable sources, clearly the nominator is not from the Netherlands. Heraldrywiki is the only site with all the current and many historical coats of arms of Kingdom the Netherlands, including all of its countries and many other countries of the world. The author has done tons of research before posting his discriptions.

Other problem in this case is many, if not most, municipalities don't have any discription of their coat of arms. Even though only a handfull of municipalities don't have their own coat of arms (they're new). Dqfn13 (talk) 16:43, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that. Night of the Big Wind _talk 07:18, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Errors in the article[edit]

Heraldrywiki is incorrect in the description of the history of this coat of arms. Recently the official heraldic decriptions and drawings became available online ath the website of the Hoge Raad van Adel, which issued the coats of arms for all Dutch municipalities, and they contradict with the description in this article. I'll try to rewrite it, based on the sources that are now available - Warhoofd (talk) 13:12, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I you don't have the time just warn me (if you want on my Dutch talkpage or in case I am online on IRC) and I will take over from you. Dqfn13 (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
