I am placing a "cleanup" flag on this page but am offering to do the work myself...when checking, more than half is legend or folklore and fairy tale, not mythology in the Wikipedia definition. I would like to suggest to change the page name to "Dutch mythology & folklore".. or else split it into 2 pages one for myth, the other for folklore, then all these listed topics sorted and grouped by type. See recently sorted "French mythology" and "French folklore" for example...it used to be just like Dutch mythology an alphabetical list... is ok with everyone if I work on this..

The following are NOT Dutch folklore or myth, they are fiction written by outside cultures:
This covers a lot of folklore for the last 1000 years, so is getting longer than I expected. I will be proposing to make and move the Dutch mythology section to a new page (keeping a placeholder but discussing mythology more fully on a new page), right now its just a list.

The following two Grimm's fairy tales removed because Grimms brothers collected GERMAN stories...there is no "Nose Tree" story in Dutch (translation "Neus Boom"). How does one know these are "Dutch" stories? There was not a source to the page. I can only locate the German stories:
One third of the low countries presently speak Frysian and French and German dialects. I am sure the last two feel stronger sentiments for there related bretheren in France and Germany, who i might say are also catholic unlike the majority of Dutch speaking people who are protestant. 85.146.24.65 ( talk) 22:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Surely this article should either be called 'Dutch Folklore' or else expanded to include foklore in French, Luxembourgish, Walloon, Frisian, Picard and so on? It's seven years since the first post about this and no-one seems to have argued that it was wrong, but the title's stayed the same.

User:Bloodofox has deleted the 30,000 byte article Mythology of the Low Countries without consensus and left a redirect to this page (thus I am bringing it up here). Insofar as I can tell, none of the information from the article has been incorporated anywhere else, meaning that the information has been, in effect, totally destroyed. This information isn't overlap, nor is it irrelevant, nor is it unsourced. Th reasoning, in fact, is that the article is "nationalistic". This isn't a valid reason for deletion ; editors have expressed opposition to such in the past. I feel that the article should be restored until such time as consensus has been gained to remove it or not and, if the first, the information has been incorporated into other articles. What do other editors think? Rwenonah ( talk) 23:33, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
