What is the criteria for being a city? Does it require a specific charter? Or is it just a large community? Rmhermen 15:11, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)
- It's now just a relatively large community, though many smaller settlements which once got a charter are still called city (stad) as well. Places which are neither large nor ever got a charter (e.g. Bergeijk) should be removed. Fransvannes 23:23, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
In the Netherlands, places with more than 50.000 inhabitents are most often refered to as cities. I have made some changes on-, and edited text to this page. If these changes do not meet the criteria for this page, than of course everybody is free to remove it. My source on this topic came from the Dutch Atlas 'De Kleine Bosatlas, Achtenvijftigste druk, vierde oplage 1996', from the publisher of Wolters-Noordhoff Atlasproducties Groningen. To be exact, the page on where one can find information about whether a city used to be a village or not, is page 8c. Rob --84.104.123.100 23:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
