Should a governor-general be included in this list? They're political, yes, but to my thinking, they're not actually politicians. I don't particularly mind one way or another, though. -- Vardion 00:02, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
At least one person listed has achieved a city mayoralty but never stood for Parliament. I don't mind leaving her there if we agree that that's a fair way to go and indicate it in the introduction. It would be unnecessarily clumsy to have a separate list, because we would then need a third list of people who have served in both capacities. Robin Patterson 02:56, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Recently, I've been going through the various politicians in the 1st New Zealand Parliament and making short articles about each of them. I will probably do the same for the 2nd Parliament, 3rd Parliament, and so forth. So far, I've been adding all these politicians to this list. However, I'm now realising that there will be a great many politicians added to the list by the time I'm finished, and most of them are fairly obscure. People like Loughlin O'Brien and Robert Hart, for example, are not likely to be of great interest to anyone - I wrote stubs about them merely for the sake of completeness. I would propose, therefore, that this list be regarded as a list of notable politicians, leaving Category:New Zealand politicians to serve as the full list. (Of course, we then have to decide on a defition of "notable"). Any thoughts? -- Vardion 10:13, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
This page lists Sir Dove-Meyer Robinson, and links to a page on Dove-Myer Robinson. I'm pretty sure this page's spelling is correct and the article name is wrong. Can someone who knows more (or is in Akld, perhaps) check? Grutness 23:47, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Gregory Fortuin was never an MP or a local body politican. He is a former Race Relations Consolidator. Should he be removed from this list -- 210.86.91.61 08:08, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Wouldn't this work better as a category rather than a list? -- Helenalex 21:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
In my opinion, this list is not useful at all. It is too broad in its scope, listing both local and national politicians. It would appear that this is much better covered by categories. The number of New Zealand politicians on WP is growing rapidly, but nobody adds anybody to this list, and as such, it is getting increasingly useless / outdated. I appreciate that all these reasons are not those that the deletion policy lists, so I expect there to be some divergent opinion to this proposal.
Whether Wallace Fard Muhammad was from New Zealand is questionable. He certainly wasn't a politician in New Zealand, but that is what this list is all about. Hence, I've removed that entry. Schwede 66 02:37, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
I propose the list be split into sub lists. At the very least separating national and local politicians. Could there be any further scope for a split? Ajf773 ( talk) 23:21, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
