I don't see a reason to have this as a separate article from the Māori article or Māori identity Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:01, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - I think this article should stand because many reliable sources use this term, mostly in a negative way. Since Wikipedia is supposed to discuss all sides, this is not a reason for deletion. Interstellarity (talk) 23:33, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The article has many good-quality references. — Toughpigs (talk) 00:52, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Meets GNG as a standalone article.  Schwede 66  08:39, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Certainly this can be kept, meets WP:GNG per above. Bingo bro   (Chat)  10:01, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears to be well sourced, but Māori identity should be merged into it. Hemiauchenia (talk) 15:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: The above Keep vote is from the nominator, which amounts to a withdrawal. The nominator added a merge template to the top of the page. This discussion should be closed. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:56, 29 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets GNG as sourcing definitely checks out and it appears to be a well-used term. At worst, merge it into Māori identity as suggested by nominator. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  17:06, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, Article satisfies WP:GNG and can stand alone. Alex-h (talk) 08:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep- and Redirect the previous article Māori identity to this article, as this article have refs which are potentially reliable. Sv72 (talk) 09:09, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per all of the above. Olaf Kosinsky (talk) 12:29, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CCC and WP:OUTCOMES. No valid arguments for deletion. We have many similar articles about Europe (for example Sisu and Seny). We need a world-wide view, such as this, Sumud, and Aliwalas, for more National character studies articles. Bearian (talk) 19:41, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * per WP:WAX none of those articles have ever come up for a deletion discussion and are therefore irrelevant. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:53, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ahem. See Articles for deletion/Sisu and Articles_for_deletion/Sisu_(2nd_nomination). Bearian (talk) 19:57, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I also found Nihonjinron. These articles are valid because they discuss the culture's self concept and are well sourced. Bearian (talk) 20:01, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * For another similar precedent, see Bogan (discussed at Articles for deletion/Bogan). Bearian (talk) 20:06, 4 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep, valid concept, but it's better known as Māoritanga. See Google Ngrams and Māori dictionary. If kept under the present name, I'll start a separate move discussion once this AfD is over.- gadfium 20:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
