As I removed several links from the word "Dutch" to the primary robot, I feel obliged to reinstate these links in a correct way. But I'm not an admin and cannot close this discussion. And until it is closed, I should not change things.
As a step towards closing this discussion, it seems to me that all three participants are in consensus (for different reasons) that the word "Dutch" should be linked to Netherlands.
Is there any opposition to doing this?
My own view is this: thanks to CzechOut, there is a DWU evidence that Dutch can be used to describe Netherlands. My initial hesitation was whether this description can be used universally across time (for instance, it would be strange to call Julius Caesar Italian just because Rome is a city in Italy). But User:AeD explained that using this DWU-sanctioned designation would not be considered incorrect from the real-world perspective irrespective of time. Thus, I personally now believe this to be the best and simplest solution.
