These three are Dutch Low Saxon dialects, and we already have {{nds-nl}} and Category:Dutch Low Saxon language, so I think these should be merged into that language and all their categories and language codes deleted. —CodeCat 20:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I think it should be the other way around - delete {{nds-nl}} and split it up into these and other individual dialects. -- Liliana • 22:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

That's even worse than splitting up Serbo-Croatian, strongly oppose. —CodeCat 22:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm more familiar with Germany's Low German than with the Netherlands'. The Low German varieties from one end of the Sprachraum are markedly different from the Low German varieties from the other end, so splitting {{nds}} might be useful. The Dutch Low German/Saxon varieties are spoken in a smaller area; I'm not as familiar with them, but it's believable that they are more consistent internally, such that the differences can be handled the way UK vs US differences are handled. The influence of Dutch on Dutch Low German/Saxon may make it worthwhile to distinguish {{nds-nl}} from {{nds}}. I think {{nds-nl}} has been discussed before, and not just in the "Status of Low German varieties" and "frs and stq" BP discussions, but those are the only two discussions I can find. - -sche (discuss) 23:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)}}
