Keep Clearly defined list of notable people.
WP:CLN states that categories and lists go hand in hand. You've answered your question with the "...unless they are split into sections" bit. Maybe discuss how to split it (if needed) on the talkpage instead. LugnutsFire Walk with Me07:19, 1 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep per Lugnuts. Whether it's turned into a list of lists, or organized through different subheaders, is a matter of development, not deletion. There are also always going to be notable politicians who don't fit into office-specific lists, either because there aren't enough notable examples for a particular office, or because they're the occasional failed candidate who never held office of any kind but nevertheless passes notability standards. So broad lists may be the only way to capture those individuals. And there's also a possible argument to make for having a master index so people don't have to navigate through dozens of subcategories or sublists. postdlf (talk)

Keep. This is a clean-up issue. There is nothing wrong with having a list of New Zealand politicians, however it does need to be presented better.
