 * Delete. Basically a BLP1E case. The only coverage I have found was in connection with the service on the Royal Commission on the Electoral System, and even that coverage consists only of brief/passing mentions. Nsk92 (talk) 08:02, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable person, no sourcing at all. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 16:01, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I added some content and sources. She seems to be a fairly active and respected Maori representative in NZ affairs. Aymatth2 (talk) 21:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: Seems now well referenced and sufficient evidence of notability in terms of Maori influence on New Zealand electoral reform - and Maori Statistics. For both of these searching on Whetu Wereta seems more productive. (Msrasnw (talk) 01:25, 14 December 2010 (UTC))
 * Sh*t. I saw the name written "Whetu Marama Wereta" a few places, but a search on that term (in quotes) does not show up much. It did not once occur to me to try "Whetu Werata". More to be added... Clearly notable. Keep. Aymatth2 (talk) 03:18, 14 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep; The article is now much better, well done Aymatth2! There is still not one big achievement that is inheriently notable (maybe the royal commission?) but there is enough minor achievements to keep the article IMO. Mattlore (talk) 02:11, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Per expansion by Aymatth2 and clear indication of notability.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
