Categories: Dutch History | The Netherlands | Dutch Notables | Netherlands Project | Famous People

Famous Dutch People are those Dutch Notables who are found with sourced articles about them in the Dutch-language nl.Wikipedia, de vrije encyclopedie.

It was started in June 2001. As of May 2015, the Dutch Wikipedia is the third-largest Wikipedia edition, with over 1,822,000 articles. It was the fourth Wikipedia edition to exceed 1 million articles, after the English, German and French editions.

It contains many articles of people who are famous in the Netherlands, but who often lack English Wikipedia articles, because they are not so well-known outside of the Netherlands among primarily English speakers. Such Notables should be listed or sub-categorized here.
