Did you by accident remove the entire article from the front page instead of just this sub-discussion? It's a very interesting and relevant article. I'd prefer this sub-discussion to be nuked instead of the entire submission

That's because of a separate issue, which is that the article is not in English. That's not out of disrespect for the Dutch or the Dutch language (quite the opposite) but it is the convention of the site.

If I remember correctly, in the past I saw German articles being popular and discussed on HN (and even as a Dutchman I found it weird, so nothing against keeping a common language, I'm just curious). Was the policy on this changed at some point?

No, it's always been this way. But we miss some cases, because we don't come close to seeing everything on HN.

Thanks for the clarification! I see now an English version has been posted with quite a lively discussion :)
