Per guidelines, we should follow WP:RS in this as in anything else, and not engage in WP:Original research. As I'm sure you know, there is really no concept of a correct spelling at this period, in Netherlandish names or any others. A very good source, which collates many other reference works and other sources is this (Bosch entry shown), and also the usage of major English-language museums, as the usual name in English may well be different from that in Dutch or Flemish. These are not always infallible or consistent, but are what we should normally use. What Dutch Wikipedia has is not in itself important; they are not an RS. It may be worth recording that there are variants, and perhaps giving some in a footnote, referenced to reliable sources, which do not include primary sources like a single document, or even several.
For example " Adam Pynacker" is the "preferred" spelling of Getty Union, is used by the National Gallery in Washington [1], the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge [2] & the Courtauld in London [3] etc. It should therefore be what English WP uses, whatever the usual spelling in Dutch. The English have the right to anglicize names like other words, whether Raphael or Pynacker, who was popular in 18th century England! Johnbod ( talk) 15:03, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Strangely enough, I have discovered that there are museums outside the Netherlands that have more paintings (or drawings!) of one painter than any museum in the Netherlands. Examples are where the museum in question has acquired the collection of some german prince or religious figure's collection, where the painter spent most of his time working for that person. I am talking about the list I am adding painters to Wikipedia from, which is the Houbraken list. The major list is mostly on Wikipedia already; I am now starting in on the secondary list (though many of these painters are more famous today than they were when Houbraken was writing).

Dear Vincent Steenberg, Thank you for the reference to Arnold Houbraken, which you contributed on the 8th of April 2012. I went to use that source in my local library but van Wijnen's name didn't come up in any of the indexes. Please can you indicate in which volume of the 3 and on which page you found the reference.
