- I would like to have a second opnion of the review by ChrysGalley (talk⧼dot-separator⧽contribs). This is not a WP:BLP1E subject. The sources 1), 2) and 3) are all independent secondary sources before his suspicion of possessing child pornography including two from the 1980s! In line with that, the Dutch article was created in 2010. Next to that there are dozens of (former) mayors who are also not at parliamentary level or up to the crown at Category:Mayors by populated place in the Netherlands. ~2026-14049-06 (talk) 16:29, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Yes 2026-14049-06 (talk⧼dot-separator⧽contribs), you can definitely have a second opinion (and more than two, if necessary). The easiest way to handle it is to make at least a few changes, it doesn't have to be much, but extra reliable sources are always welcome. Then just resubmit the draft. I will step back and some other editor can review it.
