 * Keep – per entry for this significant Maori administrator and advisor in Dictionary of New Zealand Biography and mentions in other historical papers. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Rongowhakaata Halbert as that is the name he published as and most often referred to as. I've added the book he wrote. A search in Index New Zealand found a number of significant articles on him in print only from the Gisborne Herald, Mana (national Maori news magazine), Turanganui a Kiwa pipiwharauroahe, and Bay of Plenty journal of history. The headline of the Herald book review is "One of centuries (century's) major tribal histories launched". He's also mentioned a few times in Wiremu Pere: The Life and Times of a Maori Leader, 1873-1915. I think DNZB should be enough to demonstrate notability as he is clearly not one of the "representative entries". -- haminoon  ( talk ) 21:55, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Snow keep Meets notability hands down, as is clearly demonstrated by his DNZB entry. Might as well close this discussion now as the case is clear cut. By the way, I've moved the article.  Schwede 66  00:12, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Schwede, further discussion is pointless NealeFamily (talk) 00:31, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
