It's just a lot clearer that way -- not to mention better for SEO.

I disagree with AeD that the situation is like German and English, for a number of reasons:
 * 1) The German redirect to Germany, and the English redirect to England were both created in early 2007 were created back in the opening weeks of 2007, when Tardis probably had 2K pages, if that. They did not anticipate the number of pages that start with "German" and "English" today.  Given the current realities, German and English should be redirects to German (disambgiguation) and English (disambiguation).
 * 2) Dutch is not "some robot". Junk-Yard Demon is a comic that celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, and has been reprinted on both sides of the Atlantic more than almost any other comic in DW history.  The character from Criss-Cross is decidedly more minor. Until we get some more pages that could plausibly cause serious confusion, the best approach here is to just put a  note at the top of the Junk-Yard robot pointing to the Nazi character.
 * 3) Please remember that you asked a question that muddled real life with the DWU, and AeD responded in kind with mostly real world info. Though very much appreciated for our collective development as human beings, AeD's response can't really be used to write articles here at Tardis.  That would be real world creep.  As you've otherwise pointed out, Amorkuz, what matters to the writing of our articles is what we can prove using DWU sources.  Personally, I'm less pessimistic than you about that proof. I would lay odds there's some exchange, somewhere, where someone says "Holland" and someone else in the same conversation says "Netherlands", and someone else says "Dutch", laying out a rough equivalency between the terms.
