Talk:List of Māori people

Rename and merge
I’ve renamed this article from List of Maori for both the macron and grammar. I’ve also added a merge tag to List of Maoris, which is really a formality—the 2 pages are (bizarrely) identical. Barefootguru 05:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Maori descent versus ethnicity
The title and lead section imply that people on this list are of Maori ethnicity, not just of Maori descent. I have just removed Russell Crowe, because as far as I can see, he has not been described as Maori by reliable sources, despite being of (1/16) Maori descent. --Avenue (talk) 00:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Importance assessment
I've dropped WPNZ importance from mid to low, and have assessed maori-importance as low. I'm always wary of lists that have a huge scope, as they are never anywhere near complete. Categories work much better for this purpose. If somebody disagrees with the importance assessment, I won't lose sleep over it.  Schwede 66  00:35, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Redirect
I've redirected this page as per the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_New_Zealand. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:45, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
