Keep. Patuawa-Nathan and her work have been the subject of PhD research: report here and doctoral thesis available here. Paora (talk) 05:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Strong keep She is a recognized indigenous poet who is widely cited by her peers and in a range of media. The article is poor in content and needs significant work. NealeWellington (talk) 09:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've added her to my list to do some work on her article as it's certainly in poor shape. An initial Google Books search suggests there is coverage of her in some works, including Once Were Pacific: Māori Connections to Oceania by Alice Te Punga Somerville. Te Punga Somerville also talks about her in this 2010 radio New Zealand interview and this article. She also appears to have featured in at least a couple of anthologies including Puna Wai Korero: An Anthology of Maori Poetry in English (2014, edited by Robert Sullivan and Reina Whaitiri). Separately, it looks like she features in Wild Honey: Reading New Zealand Women's Poetry by Paula Green and Māori Women: An Annotated Bibliography (1991). Would need to do more digging to check these sources, but I think there's enough here to establish notability. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 10:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable poet whose work has been covered in academic journals and books. Yes, the article needs work but that's not a reason to delete.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
