Netherlands - Dutch Genealogical Resources on the Internet (National Institute)‎
Regarding this article, I will firstly say that I respect the decision of the wiki authorities regarding its deletion. However my opinion remains that it is unnecessary duplication- much of the page in question has been copied and pasted to other pages. Should this wiki not be a place where everyone works together on one definitive version, rather than certain companies getting their own specially protected coverage. In the past, several of these "National Institute" pages have been deleted after I proposed it- I believe it is the last National Institute page for the Netherlands remaining- this is no "curriculum " for it to be a part of.

Also, I see you are in the Governance Council, and therefore ask if you can deal with several other deletion requests I have made- most of them 3+ months ago.

Thank you Alec van Helsdingen
