 * An interesting and nicely written piece of work. A quick suggestion that isn't a DYK requirement; I think the article could use a couple more links and/or explanatory phrases before historical/foreign language terms. Examples that jump out at me are "Rijksmonuments" and "Lazeruspad". I also have a slight quibble with the hook; the article is about a specific, physical, church, rather than an institution; and so the piped link to Lutheranism seems a little easter-eggy. I think a more explicit hook might be better, even if it's longer. Otherwise, article is new enough, long enough, and policy compliant with respect to verifiability, copyvio, and neutrality. AGF on foreign language sources. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:58, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Vanamonde, thanks--I agree with you almost completely. I didn't do the Easter-egging on purpose, it kind of happened that way, but if you read the article and the sources, it's actually quite true: they didn't just built a church, they brought the entire religion. And if you look at the history of the article you can maybe see that I started writing about a church building (around the corner from my brother's), but it quickly turned into more than that: it's the history of the entire congregation. I suppose I could make that more clear? And yeah, I can do a better job explaining those Dutch things; give me a few days plz, haha. Drmies (talk) 01:21, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No hurry on the terms; I'm not going to hold up the nomination over it. I actually have no problems with the hook sentence, because the article does support it. It's just the bolded link I take issue with; also, the fact (which I'm only now realizing) that the hook says 1600s, but your protagonist moved to the Netherlands in 1595. How about something like "... that Danish oxen traders brought Lutheranism to the Dutch city of Enkhuizen, including through the establishment of a Evangelical Lutheran Church in the city in 1605?" Feel free to propose alternatives. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:08, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
