Notability criteria for recipients of the Order of Orange-Nassau?

[edit]

What would be the notability level (wikipedia guideline) of the recipients of the award Order of Orange-Nassau as Ridder (Knight)? -Deepraj | Talk 14:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The mere fact that someone is a knight does not imply sufficient notability to justify an article, but it could be one of a group of facts that together do justify this.--MWAK 04:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "Notable Recipients" section

[edit]

I propose the removal of this section:

OPINION: Every year about 4500 people are accepted as a member of the Order of Orange-Nassau, while some 3000 existing members die (see http://www.nrc.nl/binnenland/article1876441.ece/14_vragen_over_de_lintjesregen). The tiny list below is therefore both useless and misleading.
I agree. Hence:

Post-nominals

[edit]

Do members of the Order use any kind of post-nominals? And is there a Dutch equivalent of the English title "Sir"? Zacwill16 (talk) 16:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, and no. The only Dutch order that uses post-nominals is the Military William Order, whose recipients are commonly styled RMWO (Ridder der Militaire Willems-Orde). "Sir" does not exist either - while people are sometimes said to have been "knighted", this usually means that they have received some decoration other than Member of the Order of Orange-Nassau (or even any decoration).--JorisEnter (talk) 16:08, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
