Coat of arms of Groningen (province)

• ... that the coat of arms of Groningen (pictured) was formally adopted by Queen Wilhelmina in 1947, more than 350 years after it was designed in 1595?

• I have to say that this article only has one source, the Province of Groningen itself, which is a clear failure of WP:NPOV, which requires multiple sources. Note also that the core policy Wikipedia:No original research requires secondary sources which this article does not have. It is around 1,700 characters, long enough and new enough. The hook is hooky, cited (AGF on Dutch-language source) and neutral. QPQ not required. This nomination will have to be failed unless additional sources can be added to the article.

I take the view that an article which is only sourced to its corresponding primary source automatically qualifies for speedy deletion under criterion A7. Sent to AfD.--Launchballer 15:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

I've added two additional sources: a document of the High Council of Nobility (see Dutch heraldry#Civic heraldry) and a webpage of the Ministry of Defence. – Editør (talk) 00:27, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The AfD nomination is closed and the article was kept. – Editør (talk) 10:15, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

• Good to go per my review above, assuming good faith on non-English sources. C679 11:15, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotor's note-I realise that this hook is a little misleading, it wasn't as far as I can tell adopted by the Queen, but by her decree. I think misleading to make it interesting is fine however, so have promoted it nonetheless. Matty.007 12:14, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
