Talk:Legislative Assembly of Samoa

Name of article
Wonder if this article is correctly named as Fono or whether it should be either Fono Aoao Faitulafono, Fono Aoao Faitulafono a Samoa or the English name Legislative Assembly of Samoa. Nurg 11:07, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd favour the Samoan name, but I'd need to dig up exactly what it is first. At the least it should be mentioned in the introduction IdiotSavant (talk) 14:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

There's a significant amount of material available on the Fono's Official website which could be incorporated. I've also added a list of terms of parliament similar to that used in the article on the Parliament of New Zealand (and it can be slowly developed in the same way). At the moment this includes links for the pre-independence Legislative Assembly, but this can always be spun off into a seperate page if enough material is added.

 * This article is misleading. Fono means any meeting, gathering, or council. The Government of Samoa is called Malo. The name of this article should be changed to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa or something like that.Teine Savaii (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Fono → Legislative Assembly of Samoa —
 * The article about the Legislative Assembly of Samoa is currently called Fono, a Samoan word. This is misleading and wrong. The word fono in the Samoan language means any 'meeting' or 'council' small or large. it is a generic term. It's like giving the page title Meeting, which is meaningless and confusing. The page should use the English terms Legislative Assembly of Samoa, so there's no confusion. Teine Savaii (talk) 08:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Where are the matai - Samoa's elite - in this article?
Hi. This is a misleading article in that matai, who are a socially recognized elite membership of the population, dominate Samoan society and are the only people permitted to be chosen to participate in Samoan politics. They only represent about 1/6 of the population at around 30,000 of the 180,000 or so, and are in effect a caste system in Samoa. This arrangement needs to be included in this article and the subsequent extensions of this article about Samoan politics... Regards... Stevenmitchell (talk) 14:29, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
