Talk:Prime Minister of the Netherlands

message: This page should be merged with List of Prime Ministers of the Netherlands, because both are lists of the same, but one is longer than the other. In merging we could expand the article. --C mon 12:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I am not a very staunch resister to this suggestion, I'd like to point out that a "List of ..." entry has a specific function in wikipedia, which should IMO not include general information which should on the other hand be contained in the article Prime Minister of the Netherlands. I therefore propose we keep both separate articles, remove the list from the article and expand the article with more info on the history and constitutional role of the prime minister.--Dengo 08:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, the list does have a point, and this article needs expansion. --YB 07:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: How does this guy get to stay in his position?! He resigned himself and his whole cabinet due to the above-mentioned scandal, and merely kept his seat until the general vote to maintain a 'some' presence as PM. That looks really bad! The page needs a Scandal section with these details recorded.2A00:23C7:5998:C701:9961:8D6:4DFF:D870 (talk) 19:04, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

message: Hey, WildComet. I never meant to suggest that my removal was in any way related to guidelines established in WP:TRIV. Regardless, I still believe shining a light on any living former prime ministers is undue nonsense and more specifically, WP:Out of scope with regard to the fact that the WP:TOPIC of the article is about the position, role, and history of prime minister of the Netherlands itself. Additionally, the status of living former prime minister is nothing more than a statistic (WP:NOTSTATS). Finally, this type of triviality is already dealt with more appropriately in List of prime ministers of the Netherlands by age. Jay D. Easy (t • c) 21:32, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the mention Jay D. Easy, the reason why I restored this is because precedent on articles of heads of state and government such as at President of the United States and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom includes a list of living officeholders. With regards to WP:Out of scope, the content is obviously encyclopedic, as there are multiple articles that are just lists of PMs by education, age, religion, etc., as well as the fact that this is an established inclusion on high-traffic articles. WP:NOTSTATS wouldn't apply here because the entire article isn't just a list, just an excerpt from the main article which was already established as valid content.

replies: text:  you raise a fair point. However, I believe you misinterpret WP:Out of scope. Whether the content is encyclopedic or not is neither here nor there. Simply put, it feels out of place. Although I admit I may be influenced by its ill-suited location within the article, which I feel only raises its prominence and out-of-place feel. I'll see if I can add a little improvement with a few tweaks here and there. Jay D. Easy (t • c) 22:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. We can probably expand with post-tenure activities like in the US president article to give some background. I may see if I can add anything to this when I have some time as well. WildComet (talk) 01:30, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Living former prime ministers 

message: When you Google ‘Prime Minister Netherlands’ in the results you’ll find the wiki page, in the text preview it says ‘Mark kutje’ Dutch for ‘Mark pussy’. Quite childish.
On the page itself, I can’t find ‘Mark kutje’ anywhere. 85.144.250.154 (talk) 02:00, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Was indeed vandalism, from December 2021. Was done in an infobox field that was not visible in the article itself but did show up in Google. Has now been reverted and Google displays correct info again. Thanks for mentioning.--Wolbo (talk) 13:52, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
