There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:38, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Big lead
The lead is very big, I think a lot of the things there could be moved to the relevant sections, as leads are meant to be a summary Lochglasgowstrathyre (talk) 17:57, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Introduction inaccuracies
Are we sure Drees was elected "anonymously" and not "unanimously"? Moreover, I don't think he served as prime minister for 101 years. Please have a look at these suggestions and apply them if they are indeed errors.
Laws and policies
The page currently mainly lists a lot of laws an policies (with mostly primary sources). It is however not clear how Drees was involved in these. It would be best to use sources which discuss Drees life. Dajasj (talk) 09:47, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is what I meant with the template Dajasj (talk) 12:27, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarification. I thought it would be good to include those reforms as they happened under Drees' watch. A lot of the pages on Wikipedia about political leaders include several reforms that were introduced during their terms in office, including those they weren't involved in.

- The problem is, how are they selected? Why are those relevant for Drees? It would make sense to use biographies to decide what is and isn't relevant. And I'm not sure about other political leaders, but there might be a different in role between countries. Prime ministers have little influence, especially back then Dajasj (talk) 20:04, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- I think they're relevant in that these reforms took place during Drees' tenure and reflect his ideological outlook. Zictor23 (talk) 19:59, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- I think that its also useful and interesting for people to see what was achieved in terms of domestic reform under Drees. Zictor23 (talk) 20:03, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
