Miscellaneous defunct or merged Netherlands banks

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Unencyclopedic and akwardly titled article with unsourced and unverified information about businesses that fail notability requirements.

The article topic would probably be better handled as a List or a Category, but only under the conditions that the content met notability requirements and referenced reliable sources. -- wtfunkymonkey 03:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added some references, including a list of archives of various Netherlands banks. Someone with access to a catalog of Netherlands banknotes could expand this article considerably. I think that all these banks were notable when they were active, and would have been mentioned fairly frequently in Netherlands newspapers. The fact that they are now defunct doesn't make them not-notable. --Eastmain 18:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and rename to List of defunct banks of the Netherlands. The information is relevant, since many current Dutch banks are the results of mergers and corporate takeovers, such as ABN Amro, Fortis, Rabobank and ING Group. A  ecis Bravado 18:29, 17 January 2007

 * Delete. No prejudice to forming part of a properly written article on Banking in the Netherlands (perhaps forming part of a subsection on history). Agent 86 01:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete I quote from the article, : "This page exists to list banks from the Netherlands about which we have only the barest information." If there ever was a confession of non-verifiability, this it it. DGG 07:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
