I can't remember who this status is of, from when I was in Delft. So someone will have to fill in that blank for me! Dom0803 00:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
This article contains some irrelevant and/or questionable external links. Cleaning up:
As a delftnaar i was very proud to see that, under the heading "famous people", our lovely city had spawned yet another world-famous band in Calibern. I had never heard of them, but surely that was my shortcoming. A quick look at their wikipedia page and the bands homepage however leaves me with the impression that they are an unsigned coverband. Hardly "famous people" material. An enquiry with some of my musically inclined local friends that are more in touch with the local metal scene also produced shrugs.
I have taken the liberty to remove the link until they are "famous" in the traditional sense of the word. As a university city, Delft sports dozens in not hundreds of bands at the same stage in their career as Calibern, and it does not seem right to include them without mentioning the others.

I edited (removed) typical Dutch centre (with canals), as painted by Vermeer from the introduction (twice). Vermeer did not paint 'typical Delft canals in the centre'. The only canal he painted, View on Delft, is (nowadays) called "De Kolk", seen from south. This is a canal, but:
Vermeer did mostly interiors, and another famous exterior (the Little Street) does not show a canal. - DePiep 11:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
".....located halfway between Rotterdam and The Hague."
This is not correct. Delft is situated much closer to the last mentioned town than to the first mentioned. As a matter of fact since the rather recent expansion of the last mentioned, both towns are partly neighbours, while before there was another place in between all over. In fact it's not unthinkable, that within decennia Delft will be part of The Hague. Natubico 02:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
".....It was founded as an academy for civil engineering in 1842 by King William II"
The term civil engineering dates from later than 1842. In fact, the Delft University of Technology was founded by the name "Koninklijke Akademie" where Mechanical Engineering and Chemistry were tought. Later on, in 1864 the school was named "Polytechnische School".
What I am slightly outraged by is the following quote: "Inholland university of applied sciences is also one of the higher institution in Delft and offers Aeronautical Engineering studies as one of its course" Reason: Anglification. InHolland is a "Hogere school", not a "Universiteit", eventhough in English these two have been taken as being of the same name, here in the Netherlands there is a clear and large difference in the level of education of the two. Not only the literal use of the word "university", but also the phrase "also one of the higher institution(s)" indicates the false contrary. More reasons: InHolland is not only a Hoge School for applied sciences, so it should not be named as such. InHolland is not particularly connected to Delft, just that it has a location in Delft as well as in several other cities. The link is also to a non-existing article. All three reasons leading to the question: "what is this piece doing here?" Also, the English language used in the quote is of rather poor quality. Unless objected to, I will remove this part of the article in about a week.-- KoosKieper ( talk) 01:41, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
The link between Delft and the listed people does not rise above the trivial. Wikipedia is about notable subjects - not about trivial links. ( Wikipedia:Handling trivia: “trivia is information that is not important to the subject it is being presented in relation to.” Note the words ‘’in relation to.’’) Removed the section. -- Unbeatablevalue 03:07, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
(With that item in the DeWp-edition as lighting guide ( [2]), today this user started making a concept of what is meant to become a more or less equivalent new sub-page in this En-version. It would be appreciated, if one or more other users would work this concept-start out and insert the result in the (also lingually) most appropriate form.)
In the economic field essential local elements are:

* Scientific research; (a.o. "TNO" ( Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), Stichting GeoDelft, Nederlands Normalisatie-Instituut
* Tourism; (about one milion registrated vistors a year),

Multiple sources claim that locals pronounce the name of the city as DEL-lift (e.g. Epenthesis#As_a_grammatical_rule, Susan Wuchinich in the caption to her photo) but I did not insert this information into the article as I could not find a WP:RELIABLE source.
