Talk:Wassenaar

Merge

This suburb sounds like it may have enough content to flesh out an article. However, The Hague article already contains the following:

• Haagse Bos - This park is the oldest forested area in the country. It stretches from the suburb of Wassenaar to the northeast and goes right to the doorstep of Centraal Station, where there is a small fenced off area with deer. Haagse Bos also has a large birds-nest built on top of a pole with which the local municipality has succeeded in attracting a pair of storks, since the stork is in the city's emblem. The Haagse Bos also contains the Queen's palace of Huis ten Bosch.
• Scheveningse Bosjes - A park near Scheveningen centred around a small lake, the Waterpartij. Home to the Indiëmonument, which commemorates Dutch victims of the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies.
• Wassenaar - This suburb of The Hague is the wealthiest municipality in the country. Large wooded areas contain cycling and walking paths and are interspersed with huge estates. The village centre has a few restaurants and shops and is fairly close to the beach.

So, should this village be considered a part of The Hague (which has not been districtified yet) and turned into a redirect? AHeneen (talk) 07:14, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I would agree here, Wassenaar does not even have their own VVV. Since there was no opposition since January, why don't you plunge forward with that? PrinceGloria (talk) 04:23, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Wassenaar is clearly separate from The Hague and has its own culture. It's also a town with plenty of tourist interest: forests, beautiful mansions, beaches. It's easily qualified for a separate article, so I don't see how a merge with The Hague makes any sense. Haagse Bos and Scheveningse Bosjes are a part of The Hague, not of Wassenaar.
