National bibliographic is not a criteria of
WP:GNG, it is a criteria for likely notable under
WP:NPERSON, but NPERSON does not supersede GNG nor does NPERSON say it is automatic. If her only claim to notability is who she married, then
WP:NOTINHERITED applies. And as 90% of the article is about her husband,
WP:NOPAGE leans to a redirect so that all relevant information can be found in one place.

OK. Fair enough. Her entry in the bibliographic dictionary establishes likely notability. Therefore, I insist that we keep. There is much more to say about her, for example that she was, like it or not, a role model. Romeijn says "she was not especially beautiful, nor smart, but she was a dedicated low-profile housewife who loved her husband and in twelve years of marriage gave him eight children". That was meant as praise. Her correspondence and her cash register of the household provide nonetheless a unique source of information about how the leading statesman lived.

Keep. I Think she meets Notablity, she was the spouse of the long-term leader of a influential country, she has several portrait (incl. one by a very famous British Artist), she has a vast family history and is in the Dutch Bibliographic Dictionary. — Preceding

Comment That is correct, they are not inherently notable because they are spouses - the ones with articles are notable on their own merit because sufficient independant significant sources exist for them to meet
WP:GNG. First Lady is a position in it's own right. -

As stated above, I insist we keep. The article as it stands may be poor but the potential notability of Bicker is firmly established and the article can be significantly improved. I´ll work on it in the next few days. I just added a first new line. Help is welcome.

No, as it is not a proper lede and any article needing a lede written that way to justify its existence is a sign that it is not notable.

Indeed a lot less lede should be necessary. If you´re still topic of analysis 400 years after your death, Wikipedia needs an article about you. Simple. I guess we´ll have all the time in the world to improve the lede and everything. Thanks for the nomination because it gave me the opportunity to learn more about this fascinating story.
