Coat of arms of Groningen (province)
[edit]- ... that the coat of arms of Groningen (pictured) was formally adopted by Queen Wilhelmina in 1947, more than 350 years after it was designed in 1595?
Created by Editør (talk). Self nominated at 17:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC).
I have to say that this article only has one source, the Province of Groningen itself, which is a clear failure of WP:NPOV, which requires multiple sources. Note also that the core policy Wikipedia:No original research requires secondary sources which this article does not have. It is around 1,700 characters, long enough and new enough. The hook is hooky, cited (AGF on Dutch-language source) and neutral. QPQ not required. This nomination will have to be failed unless additional sources can be added to the article.

- I take the view that an article which is only sourced to its corresponding primary source automatically qualifies for speedy deletion under criterion A7. Sent to AfD.--Launchballer 15:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I've added two additional sources: a document of the High Council of Nobility (see Dutch heraldry#Civic heraldry) and a webpage of the Ministry of Defence. – Editør (talk) 00:27, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Good to go per my review above, assuming good faith on non-English sources. C679 11:15, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
